Frederick Forsyth: A Matter of Protocol the Authorized Biography

0/5 ( ratings)

Frederick Forsyth's life reads like one of his thrillers. Skipping school to take flying lessons, he became the youngest pilot in the RAF. By his early 20s he was a foreign correspondent for Reuters in Paris, where he witnessed the OAS's attempts on Charles de Gaulle. His move to Berlin, coincided with his discovery of the Odessa, an organisation that protected Nazi war criminals. These experiences would become the backbone of Forsyth's first two novels The Day of the Jackal and the Odessa File, powerful international thrillers. Frederick Forsyth - A Matter of Protocol is an exploration of the life and works of this most popular writer which reveals the man behind some of the most memorable novels of a generation. Using previously unpublished material and drawing from several extensive interviews with Forsyth, Craig Cabell offers both detailed biography and a critical study of all of Forsyth's work in order of publication. This intimate portrait also features contributions from Lord Janner, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Edward Fox and Derek Jacobi, who celebrate Forsyth's remarkable literary achievements. This book pays tribute to one of Britain's most popular novelists.
