Love and Let Die: James Bond, The Beatles, and the British Psyche

This book dives into two contrasting pop culture forces — James Bond films and the Beatles. It explores how these two media cultural forces from the UK brought forth what it calls a particular British cultural psyche that have facets that can be explored in the realms of class, sexuality, and society over over sixty years. The book makes the clear connection that the first Bond film and the Beatles first record were released on the same day, on a windy October afternoon. The book tells of how these two icons serve as historical and societal touchstones, especially in how Americans have come to view British culture, with evidence and context to make a case for how the outset of these two forever changed how culture crosses the Atlantic.
