Wrote "Jackal Day" and "Dogs of War": British writer Frederick Frederick Frederick

Forsyte brought into his prose the view of the reporter, changing the genre of thriller with a series of novels, including "Jackal Day", "Odessa Dossier", "Fourth Protocol" and "War Dogs". His books have parted over 75 million copies around the world and brought him awards, including Crime Writers' Association Diamond Dagger. Forsythe was born in Ashford, Kent County, 1938. And he became an international journalist when a reporter who knows French was urgently needed to work in Paris.

In 1961, chaos prevailed in Paris, and the right fighters threatened to kill Charles de Gaulle after he suggested the independence of Algeria. "We all waited for the mega -making, the moment when the sniper would shoot him in his forehead," Forsyth recalled. Then he came up with Killer Shakal, whom he called "a stranger, a killer without a name, without a face, without a dossier and a professional.

" After Frederick Forsyth, he moved to the BBC, and in 1967 he was sent to Nigeria to illuminate a war in Biafra. There he began to work for the service of British intelligence Mi-6. Although Forsyth always denied that he was a spy, in his autobiography of 2015, "Outsider" the author acknowledged that he was an "asset" of intelligence for more than 20 years. "It was not surprising, it was a cold war. A huge part of the British intelligence was volunteers.

A businessman could go to a trade fair in a hard -to -reach city, and they came to him, said softly and politely:" Do you so kind to take an envelope under the door of your hotel. Then. Forsyth did not receive money for this, but in Mi-6 agreed to read his manuscripts and warn if they found information that is not subject to disclosure.

Forsyth returned to the United Kingdom when the war came to an end in December 1969, being "out of work, without prospects, without an apartment, without a car, without savings. " Desperately wanting to make money, he "came across the most unbelievable way to earn them: write a novel. " "I just sat down and wrote about an invisible killer without a name. I knew my material; I passed every inch. I wrote a day and night for 35 days," Forsyth said.

The result was stunning, and "The Day of the Jackala" about the attempt on Charles de Gaulle became a bestseller. In the Odessa Dossier novel, Forsyth told the story of a young German reporter who is looking for a Nazi military criminal Edward Rushman and encounters an organization that protects high -ranking SS members. Forsyta was criticized for using a painful topic to raise sales. Forsythe himself argued that the novel helped identify Rushman in real life.

The book was shot and during the premiere in Buenos Aires, the man from the hall said, "I know this man, she lives on my street. " Roshman fled to Paraguay and died of a heart attack on a river crossing. "They buried him in a nameless gravel career. I hope they threw a copy of the book on top of it," the writer said. And for the novel "The Dogs of War", in which he tells about mercenaries who plan a coup in a fictional African country, Forsyth was almost killed.

He had a few minutes to escape from a weapon who recognized him as a photo in the book. Forsyth himself said he ended writing in 2018. His last novel was the Thriller. The writer joked that "a little selfish" and writes for the sake of money. We will remind, earlier Focus wrote about the new film adaptation of Frederick Frederica "The Day of the Jackal Day". In the 10-part series, Eddie Redmain played the main role. Modern jackal hunts German politicians and technicians.
