The first raids and operations were disastrous, many Canadians died in one operation in Dieppe, but as the training improved, the material and information that they collected got better. AT the end of the war they were collecting tons of documents as the allies swept across Europe. Flemming was intimately linked with 30 Commando, picking targets and working with other intelligence organisations to make the most of the data collected. Rankin links the things that he did during the war with the people, themes and equipment that he uses in the Bond books. A lot of the book is fascinating, I was not aware just how close we were to failure on some of these raids. That said, the book is disjointed, and at certain points confusing with lots of people being written about. It could have benefited with a stronger narrative.

In 1941, the United Kingdom faced its darkest hour: it stood alone against the Germans, who had chased British forces out of France, Norway, and Greece. All it had left were desperate measures--commando raids, intelligence coups, feats of derring-do. Any such ""novel enterprise,"" wrote Admiral John Godfrey, Director of Naval Intelligence, required ""an officer with drive and imagination of the highest order."" He found one in Commander Ian Fleming. In Ian Fleming's Commandos, Nicholas Rankin tells the exciting story of a secret intelligence outfit conceived and organized by Fleming.
