Frederick Forsyth

Opis

At eighteen, Forsyth was the youngest pilot to qualify with the RAF. At twenty-five, he was stationed in East Berlin as a journalist during the Cold War. He wrote his game-changing first novel, The Day of the Jackal and never looked back. He's been shot at, he's been arrested, he's even been seduced by an undercover agent. This is his story.

Recenzje

Forsyth insists that The Outsider is not an autobiography. So I will just say that this is one of the most exciting and enjoyable accounts of an author's life, in vaguely chronological order and written by the author himself, that I have ever read. The Sunday Times

O autorze

Former RAF pilot and investigative journalist, Frederick Forsyth defined the modern thriller when he wrote The Day of The Jackal, described by Lee Child as 'the book that broke the mould', with its lightning-paced storytelling, effortlessly cool reality and unique insider information.
