PRAISE FOR INTO THE LION S MOUTH
A gripping story about a fascinating man of many talents and faces and what makes it all the more intriguing is that its all true! Michael Connelly, New York Times bestselling author of The Wrong Side of Goodbye
"A sensational book, telling a remarkable true story that few know, even those in the intelligence business. Written in the style of the best spy thrillers, the book is impossible to put down. A must read." Michael Morell, acting CIA Director (ret.)
For those wanting to know the real-life inspiration for Ian Fleming s James Bond, here it is...a work of nonfiction that s more thriller than biography. USA Today
Who needs fiction? Truth is a thousand times better, and this true-life adventure has it all. Action, history, secrets, conspiracies a sizzling piece of entertainment that s real. Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The 14th Colony
Excellent book. This is another a well-researched history book and dramatic, breathtaking spy story all of it is true. Mr. Loftis has shown an extraordinary ability to combine the high-integrity research discipline of this legal training with a page-turner writing talent to produce a scholarly thriller that is hard to put down. Dr. Robert Kuckuck, Director, Los Alamos National Laboratory (ret.)
Loftis recounts the exploits of the model for Ian Fleming s James Bond character with great skill...will have readers on the edge of their seats and immersed in this sometimes unbelievable tale. Library Journal
Sifting through declassified documents from World War II as well as hotel bills, letters, and long-forgotten memoirs Loftis painstakingly pinpoints the exact moment Bond s creator, Ian Fleming, first encountered this real-life 007. New York Post
Superspy Dusko Popov the real-life James Bond. Parade
Excellent integration of primary and archival sources...impressive evidence...highly readable. Naval Historical Foundation
The real-life inspiration for James Bond proved to be every bit as riveting as any of Ian Fleming s creations...one of the most remarkable books we ve read all year....Although Into the Lion s Mouth reads more like an intelligence caper than a biography, the book is impeccably researched and cited, making it an excellent read for even the most discriminating history buffs. -Best Thrillers
Sometimes truth is not only strange, but more exciting than fiction. If one is an Ian Fleming aficionado and a World War II history buff, you will find Into the Lion s Mouth a merger of the most exciting and fascinating aspects of both genres. 007 s exploits in the fourteen James Bond books almost pale in comparison to the actual exploits of Dusko Popov throughout World War II. Admiral R.J. Zlatoper, USN (ret.)
Intriguing and fascinating....Part of the success of the...D-Day invasion can be directly attributed to the deceptive information Dusko Popov provided the Nazis. The descriptions of the UK s successful attack on the Italian Fleet at Taranto and how that served as the model for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor provide an interesting insight. Most shocking, however, is the fact that J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI director, was provided this key intelligence by Dusko Popov four months before the Japanese attack, and apparently didn t tell anyone. Admiral James A. Lyons Jr, USN (ret)
007 inspiration: bolder than James Bond. The Orlando Sentinel
Gripping, thrilling, and too crazy to be true except that it is...reads less like a biography and more like a thriller...one of the most fascinating things I ve read, period. The Real Book Spy
[A] remarkable story...the book packs the punch of a cyanide capsule. Larry Loftis s rich narrative leaves you paralyzed, physically unable to tear yourself from a narrative so vivid that you actually smell the cigarette smoke hanging above the baccarat tables. And feel the weight of the Luger hanging beneath your arm. Joshua Hood, author of Clear by Fire and Warning Order
James Bond is not the amalgamation of several bits and parts from people like Frankenstein s monster, but based on one individual...reads much like a novel, and a thrilling one at that. The Big Thrill
A true tale fraught with danger, suspense, beautiful women, and a fateful summer encounter at a certain Casino Estoril in 1941....Loftis makes the strongest case yet for why Bond fans should consider Popov as Fleming s true inspirations. James Bond Radio
A history book that reads like a fast-paced spy triller. You ll learn a ton about WWII espionage while anxiously wondering what s going to happen next to Dusko. The Art of Manliness
An espionage book that seems to highly improbable it could only be true....Even with the Fleming/Bond connection, Into the Lion s Mouth is hard to put down and the exploits [are] incredible. The James Bond Dossier
