( Oct. 21, 2016)
1965 was the high-water mark of Sixties spy mania, fueled by 007 movies, books, and hype. But Americans had paperback thriller spies of their very own, from Bond best friend Felix Leiter to Matt Helm, Napoleon Solo and beyond. "The Man from Uncle Sam" offers a dossier-size look at the greatest fictional U.S. agents of all, and the authors who created them. These agents were the toughest operatives who ever bedded a blonde or crushed a Russian spy's kidney with a crowbar. Take a pop-culture look back at the spytacular year of 1965.
