Frederick Forsyth

Written with exclusive access to Frederick Forsyth and supported in full by him, this official book provides an in-depth look at the novelist and his work. Using previously unpublished material, and drawing from several extensive interviews with Forsyth, author Craig Cabell offers both detailed biography and a critical study of all Forsyth's books in order of publication. Forsyth, notoriously reticent on these matters in the past, talks openly about how he researches his work, discusses his own political beliefs and explains the background to each novel. Craig has also talked to many of Forsyth's inner circle, including Lord Janner, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Edward Fox and Derek Jacobi. With a section on movies made from Forsyth's books and a detailed bibliography, this is the definitive companion to one of the most accomplished thriller writers of a generation.
