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.

I got this book for a friend who is a fan of the show but not a great reader. He was thrilled and is DEVOURING every detail and passing it on to his friends, whether or not they are listening! I have to say, though, there are some fun facts. Who knew that Elvis Presley was initially tapped for the lead in this 1960's TV show? If you're a fan of the show, even a little bit, you will love this book.

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.
