FREDERICK FORSYTH HAS SEEN IT ALL. AND LIVED TO TELL THE TALE…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. Before he turned thirty, he was in Africa controversially covering the bloodiest civil war in living memory. Three years later, broke and out of work, he wrote his game-changing first novel, The Day of the Jackal.

He never looked back. Forsyth has seen some of the most exhilarating moments of the last century from the inside, travelling the world, once or twice on her majesty’s secret service.

He’s been shot at, he’s been arrested, he’s even been seduced by an undercover agent.

But all the while he felt he was an outsider. This is his story.
