Nicholas Rankin

Nicholas Rankin excels at bringing momentous - yet overlooked - situations and characters from history to life, using his journalistic eye to inject suspense and adventure. In his new book he recreates Ian Fleming's Second World War unit, out of which was born the inspiration for James Bond. More
