Non-Fiction Biography
From Frederick Forsyth, the grand master of international
suspense, comes his most intriguing story ever—his own.
For more than forty years, Frederick Forsyth has been
writing extraordinary real-world novels of intrigue, from
the groundbreaking The Day of the Jackal to the prescient
The Kill List. Whether writing about the murky world of
arms
dealers, the shadowy Nazi underground movement, or the
intricacies of worldwide drug cartels, every plot has
been
chillingly plausible because every detail has been
minutely
researched. But what most people don’t know is that some of his
greatest
stories of intrigue have been in his own life. He was the RAF’s youngest pilot at the age of nineteen,
barely escaped the wrath of an arms dealer in Hamburg,
got
strafed by a MiG during the Nigerian civil war, landed
during a bloody coup in Guinea-Bissau (and was accused of
helping fund a 1973 coup in Equatorial Guinea). The Stasi
arrested him, the Israelis feted him, the IRA threatened
him, and a certain attractive Czech secret police
agent—well, her actions were a bit more intimate. And
that’s
just for starters.
It is a memoir like no other—and a book of pure delight.
