Book excerpt: Nearly seven decades after his first appearance in Ian Fleming's Casino Royale James Bond remains a fixture of pop culture--one much talked about, but surprisingly little understood. The James Bond We Forget takes a look at the figure and history--from his surprising roots in Edwardian pop culture and the tumult of post-World War II Britain, to the Bond films' underappreciated part in the rise of the action film, to the manifold controversies over the character today, as well as what we might expect of the Bond franchise in the years to come.
