John Bingham, 7th Baron Clanmorris
John Michael Ward Bingham, 7th Baron Clanmorris (3 November 1908 – 6 August 1988) was a former MI5 spy and an English novelist who published 17 thrillers, detective novels and spy novels.
==Background==
During the Second World War and for two decades after 1950, Bingham worked for MI5 and was reportedly the inspiration for John le Carre's character George Smiley.〔('Baron in search for Ascot house' ), ''Evening Press'', 28 Feb 2004〕〔Michael Jago, ''The Man who was George Smiley: The Life of John Bingham'' (2013), reviewed by the former Director General of MI5, Stella Rimington, in ''The Spectator'', 2 March 2013, p. 36.〕 In 1999 le Carré confirmed that Bingham had been an inspiration for Smiley and in 2000 went further, writing in an introduction to a reissue of one of Bingham's novels that "He had been one of two men who had gone into the making of George Smiley. Nobody who knew John and the work he was doing could have missed the description of Smiley in my first novel".〔John le Carré, Introduction to John Bingham, ''My Name is Michael Sibley'', London: Pan Classic Crime (2000)〕 John LeCarre in a BBC Radio "Front Row" interview in 2009 said that Bingham's successful thriller novels, published when the two men worked together at MI5 in the 1950s, inspired le Carre to write his first two books.
