Product Description:
Drawing on extensive interviews with the cast and crew of The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Jon Heitland has assembled an incredibly comprehensive, fully illustrated account of the show's history, including:
-the program's conception in conference with Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond
-U.N.C.L.E.'s remarkable surge in popularity
-the camaraderie between Robert Vaughn and David McCallum, the show's stars
-the factors that led to the show's sudden cancellation
-a complete episode guide, including companion program The Girl from U.N.C.L.E.
-plus information and anecdotes on the show's production, filming, guest stars, stunts, props, merchandising, and much more.

If you're a die-hard U.N.C.L.E. fan and are looking for a book about the series - this is it - as in, its apparently the only one ever written about a truly great TV series. Sadly, the book fails and suffers in many areas.
First we have the writing style. The book in places reads like it was written for a 10-year-old with the author feeling the necessity to explain to the reader what everyone does on a set (the editor does this, the director does that etc. etc.). Boring.

This book tells the ENTIRE story of the short-lived TV classic. Practically day-by-day. It was published in the '80s so there are some badly reproduced photos. Fans will also want to get the book "Spy-Fi" which has some very good photos of rare props used on the show.

As an overview of the inner workings and production of one of the defining television shows of the 1960's, "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." book is simply excellent, the best on the subject - much more so than the later "U.N.C.L.E. Tribute Book". Subjects such as writing, photography/cinematography, music, direction, special effects, props, the development of the pilot and series concept and the like are all covered in exhaustive detail. There are also many rare photos, all in B & W.

I watched the show in its original run. As one reviewer below said, as a kid, I wanted it to be real. As an adult fan today, I was delighted to get all the detail and inside information from this well-written book. Mr. Heitland has done all us wannabe UNCLE agents a great service.

All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put
Humpty Dumpty together again, so why all the bickering to and
fro? This book was published after the U.N.C.L.E. Files and
before the Unofficial Tribute Book. Stating this is the best
smells like someone's been bought off. Any follower worth his
salt knows everything that's been written about this show is
okay, give it or take it. Better to own all or none.
