Summary:
"The Beatles are the biggest band in the history of pop music. James Bond is the single most successful movie character of all time. Most countries can only dream of a cultural export becoming a worldwide phenomenon on this scale. For Britain to produce two iconic successes on this level is unprecedented. Bond and the Beatles present us with opposing values, visions of the British culture, and ideas about sexual identity. Looking at these two touchstones in this new context will forever change how you see the Beatles, the James Bond films, and six decades of cross-Atlantic popular culture"--Back cover.
