The Outsider

This is Frederick Forsyths life in his own words; his highly anticipated autobiography is as thrilling as his fiction. Packed with anecdotes from a life well lived, THE OUTSIDER is an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the extraordinary life of one of the worlds best loved and bestselling thriller writers.

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.
