Innan han fyllt tjugo år talade han tre språk och var utbildad stridspilot i RAF.
Som journalist var han orädd och frispråkig men följden av hans kritik mot inbördeskriget i Nigeria (se boken the Biafra Story) slutade med att han förlorade jobbet. Nu kom idén att skriva en thriller om attentatet 1962 i Paris-som han själv bevakat på plats.
Resten är historia: 25 romaner i upplagor på över 75 miljoner.
Lika spännande som hans thrillers skildras hans liv i dessa memoarer.
Engelskspråkig.

- 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.
