ESPIONAGE BOOKS AND MUCH MORE
My name is Mark Simmons; welcome to my website. I’m a writer of espionage books, both fiction and non-fiction. My first book about Ian Fleming, Ian Fleming & Operation Golden Eye: Keeping Spain out of World War II, was favourably reviewed in the New York Times and was followed in 2020 by Ian Fleming’s War: The Inspiration for 007.
For many years I have also run an online book shop selling a wide range of second-hand titles. Visit my eBay store to see the full range.

With the Commandos: The drive into Hitler’s Reich November 1944-June 1945. From the battle for Walcheren Island, to open the port of Antwerp, to the crossing of the river barriers into Germany. ‘With the Commandos’ tells the story, which has largely been forgotten, namely that of the Commandos’ role in the last few months of the war in Europe, often leading the way these men battled their way into the heart of the Third Reich fighting against a fanatical foe. ‘With the Commandos’ is largely told through the words of the men who took part.
