Forsyth, Frederick

▪ British author
born Aug. 25, 1938, Ashford, Kent, Eng.

      British author of best-selling thriller novels noted for their journalistic style and their fast-paced plots based on international political affairs and personalities.

      Forsyth attended the University of Granada, Spain, and served in the Royal Air Force (Royal Air Force, The) before becoming a journalist. He was a reporter for the British newspaper the Eastern Daily Press from 1958 to 1961 and a European correspondent for the Reuters news agency from 1961 to 1965. He worked as a correspondent for the British Broadcasting Corporation until he was reassigned in 1968 after criticizing British aid to Nigeria during the Biafran war; The Biafra Story (1969) is his nonfiction history of the war. His experiences as a news correspondent gave Forsyth the knowledge to write realistic thrillers.

      Forsyth's first and most admired novel, The Day of the Jackal (1971; filmed 1973; filmed as The Jackal, 1997), is based on rumours he had heard of an actual attempt to assassinate French President Charles de Gaulle (Gaulle, Charles de). Several other carefully researched thrillers followed, including The Odessa File (1972; filmed 1974), about a search for a Nazi war criminal, and The Dogs of War (1974; filmed 1980), about an uprising in a fictional African nation. Forsyth's works emphasize the power of individuals to change the world and history. His later novels include The Devil's Alternative (1979), The Fourth Protocol (1984; filmed 1987), The Negotiator (1989), The Fist of God (1994), and Icon (1996). He also published a short-story collection entitled No Comebacks (1982).
