Book
Notes The book was first published by Tomahawk Press in 2007, but the Fleming family forced the publishers to withdraw (in March 2008) any unsold first editions as the book contained reprinted court documents, which the Fleming Family Will Trust said infringed their copyright. Tomahawk claimed they were public documents but decided not to fight the case in court and took the decision to deliver the remaining UK stock of the book to Olswang, the Ian Fleming Will Trust's solicitor’s offices in London. For more about the Banned Edition, see this 2008 article from Tomahawk Press. This is the second edition of this book. From the back cover: In 1963, Ian Fleming, the creator of the 20th century s greatest fictional character was in court, accused of plagiarism. This book explores the evidence that the screen version of James Bond was not Fleming s creation. It was the creation of Jack Whittingham, who was employed by maverick producer Kevin McClory to adapt the character to the big screen. Had this screen character never been developed, James Bond might have been just another minor fictional spy character. The Battle for Bond is a tale of bitter recriminations, betrayal, multi-million dollar lawsuits and even death. It is the fabled story of Kevin McClory's 40 year legal battle over the rights to the screen version of James Bond, which he and Whittingham had created. The first edition of this book was banned by the Ian Fleming Will Trust. But the truth never dies!
