...IF ART IMITATES LIFE, and life imitates art, it may be added that life sometimes imitates paperback thrillers. By the 1950s, when Ian Fleming wove into his books both Dusko Popov’s daring and the theme of FBI-CIA competition, there had long been a curious cross pollination between fiction and espionage. Many former intelligence officers had become novelists—John Buchan, Somerset Maugham, Rudyard Kipling, T. E. Lawrence, Graham Greene, John le Carre, and Fleming being among the best known—but novelists had also exerted their influence on clandestine work. One of the founders of British intelligence was also the father of the modern English novel, Daniel Defoe. The German spy scare dreamed up by hack mystery writer William Tuffnell Le Queux in Spies of the Kaiser: Plotting the Downfall of England (1909) had led to a British government inquiry, and to the June 1910 creation of the modern British Secret Intelligence Service, later known as SIS or MI6. The term “mole,” used to denote a penetration agent in a novel by le Carre, eventually became slang among real intelligence officers. And the creator of James Bond had advised Donovan on the creation of OSS, little imagining that emulation of his aesthetic ideal—the attempt by certain intelligence officers to be America’s Dusko Popov, its James Bond—would become one cause of serious friction between the FBI and CIA.

Most professional intelligence officers, of course, would deny that spy novels bear much resemblance to their work. They read them, they enjoy them, but they do not believe them. “The spy heroes of the novelists rarely exist in real life, ” Allen Dulles would say. “Most spy romances and thrillers are written for audiences who wish to be entertained rather than educated in the business of intelligence.” CIA officer Lyman Kirkpatrick later lamented that “The James Bond syndrome, with its emphasis on cloak and dagger adventures, fast cars, and faster women, hasn’t helped the CIA image. Most people now look on intelligence as all espionage and action, and fail to realize that the bulk of the work is painstaking assembly of information.” One of Kirkpatrick’s colleagues, David Atlee Phillips, believed that “Truth would be better served if the symbolic cloak and dagger of the espionage business were replaced by six 3 x 5 cards and a typewriter.”

Such objections were no doubt valid, but could also be somewhat disingenuous. The glamorization of real-life intelligence along the lines of spy fiction had actually begun with the 1945 publicity campaign by OSS, which announced that “Behind the abrupt capitulation of the entire German Army in Italy lies a story of machinations as fantastic as a mystery-thriller by E. Phillips Oppenheim.”
