Description: Whatever happened to him actually outshines anything I ve had my James Bond do. Ian Fleming James Bond: author ornithologist marksman and identity - theft victim? When James Bond published his landmark book Birds of the West Indies he had no idea it would set in motion events that would link him to the most iconic spy in the Western world and turn his life upside down. Born into a wealthy family but cut off in his early twenties James Bond took off to the West Indies in search of adventure. Armed with arsenic and a shotgun he took months - long excursions to the Caribbean to collect material for his iconic book Birds of the West Indies navigating snake - infested swamps sleeping in hammocks and island - hopping on tramp steamers and primitive boats. Packed with archival photos many never before published and interviews with Bond's colleagues here is the real story of the pipe - smoking ruthless ornithologist who introduced the world to the exotic birds of the West Indies.
