'Living with James Bond' 007

Non-Fiction, a True-Life Story

​​

For decades, Bronislaw Urbanski lived in silence, hunted by Soviet SMERSH operatives, unable to reveal the truth: he was the real-life inspiration for Ian Fleming’s James Bond. Bound by a solemn promise, his son, Peter, kept the secret for decades—until now.

Did you know Ian used SMERSH in 5 books then later changed it to become SPECTRE because people were wondering?
The facts simply are that SMERSH never went after any MI6 Agent, so why did he make it after Bond?
Answer: Bond was based upon a Polish/MI6 super spy, that is why SMERSH was after him.

​

For 60 year the public was believing that fictitious James Bond was all conceived in Ian's head. James Bond was always considered that of pure fiction since 1953, but what if it was a carefully crafted deception? Non-fiction to fiction"
This book uncovers the shocking truth, backed by irrefutable evidence—including physical proof from Ian Fleming himself.

​

During World War II, Bronislaw—known as the Allied Forces’ “King Assassin” and Poland’s feared “White Ghost”—carried out missions so dangerous that his survival became legendary.
Simply put the British War Office never thought he would live. His wartime companion, SOE Christine Granville, now revealed as the real-life inspiration for Vesper Lynd, shared their exploits with Fleming (Bronislaw and Christine). Letters between them reveal how reality shaped Bond’s world.

​

To protect both of them, Fleming disguised the truth. He made Bond British, borrowed his own naval rank, and crafted a legend to entertain readers while shielding the man behind it. Even after the war, the danger remained - Christine was assassinated in 1952 by a purported spurned lover, or was she?

After the realization she was murdered, Bronislaw refused to reveal himself even after SMERSH's Lavrentiy Beria was killed by Stalin for being too sadistic, he was hunting Bronislaw in real life. 

Bronislaw an expert in Cryptology, German Counterintelligence and the actual ENIGMA, Ian was blown away by the stories by SOE Granville in late 1951. 

As the old adage goes, "Where there is smoke there is fire!"
