Audio Interview with Frederick Forsyth

Frederick Forsyth, author of The Day of the Jackyl, The Odessa File, and The Dogs of War, talks with Don Swaim in 1984 about Forsyth's most recent book at the time, The Fourth Protocol.

Forsyth didn’t start his career as a fiction writer but as a journalist. He began as a news reporter in London, then moved on to work with Reuters as a foreign correspondent. It was his time working with Reuters in France and later in East Berlin that gave him the idea for his first novel. Then, he worked for a time with the BBC in London.

Finally, he decided to write the book he had been thinking about since his foreign correspondent days, but he had a hard time getting in published. He soon discovered that the journey to becoming a published author is fraught with rejection and persistence.

After the first book was published, he quickly grew in popularity and three of his novels were made into movies.

Its a must listen interview ...The author takes you into a different angle of how his life is and how he sees it ....You wouldn't even expect how it goes...

Just like his book....
