Great book, The Fourth Protocol pdf is enough to raise the goose bumps alone. It's always fun to read Frederick Forsyth books. Must read. Aug 07, Ben Boulden rated it it was amazing. A perfectly plotted spy thriller that feels less like a novel and more like true crime. A combination that would become difficult as a steady reading diet, but works very well here. Jan 19, Shom Biswas rated it really liked it Shelves: read-before My favourite writer within the broad category of thrillers, one I literally grew up reading, is Frederick Forsyth. Forsyth is different from the standardfare thriller writer in that he takes a long time in patiently building up the plot. If you want a thrill-a-minute ride, Forsyth is not for you I do have a recommendation for the extreme thrill-seeker, and that is Robert Crais; but Crais would be for another day. Forsyth is not necessarily a mystery writer, his two most celebrated books, Day o My favourite writer within the broad category of thrillers, one I literally grew up reading, is Frederick Forsyth. Forsyth is not necessarily a mystery writer, his two most celebrated books, Day of the Jackal and The Dogs of War cannot be classified as mysteries by any stretch, but some of his mystery thrillers, The Odessa File and The Fourth Protocol are exceptional; the latter is my recommendation for the week. The Fourth Protocol of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty prohibited assembling of nuclear weapons, piecemeal in secret, close to the target, before being detonated. This book is set in , during the heights of the Cold War. In parallel to this, the most in famous spy of the ages, Kim Philby, having defected to Moscow, starts working with the Russian government towards a masterplan to supplement the British Labour Party leadership with a hard-left candidate, who would be working for the Russian cause. Valeri Petrofsky, a Soviet spy, lands up in England under cover to give fruition to this masterplan. This makes him navigate the political labyrinth of the MI5, takes him as far as South Africa — in the most intricate bit of dogged, patient mystery-solving you will ever see. The mystery thriller is perhaps the least appreciated genre among serious mystery readers. Cheap thrills? There are few things I like more than a well-written, taut, mystery thriller. And The Fourth Protocol is really as good as it gets in that regard. Jul 04, Murray rated it really liked it. In this completely preposterous s Cold War spy thriller, the Russians try to effect the outcome of another country's elections. OK, that was a joke, sadly. However, what's not funny is Forsyth's crystal ball glance into the future, with suitcase bombs, terrorists and spies shuttling across borders to create their sleeping cells, and a very devious plan on behalf of the Russians to overthrow a foreign in this case, UK government. In pre-internet hacking days, the Russians in this novel devis In this completely preposterous s Cold War spy thriller, the Russians try to effect the outcome of another country's elections. In pre-internet hacking days, the Russians in this novel devise a complicated masterplan to gain control of the UK in a way far more frightening that their current alleged crimes. Like most of Forsyth's books, this one is complex and requires close attention. Forsyth is typically a 'just the facts' kind of author, with more attention paid to spycraft than wordcraft. But, his books are hard to put down and always satisfying to the very end. Feb 06, Ryan rated it liked it. Frederick Forsyth's first book The Day of the Jackal is one of, if not my favourite thriller. Since reading it I have been trying to capture its magic with Forsyth and other authors. The premise behind this is highly intriguing with the nuclear disarmament and far left of the Labour party being fascinating and strangely as relevant today as when it was written. Anti Nuclear weapon marches that occur in the book occurred in London today with exactly the same sentiments. Despite these ideas having Frederick Forsyth's first book The Day of the Jackal is one of, if not my favourite thriller. Despite these ideas having me hooked the book never really delivered on that promise and although I would love to give it more, for a thriller this wasn't all that thrilling for me. Taken me long enough, having seen most of the film adaptations of his novels, but I have finally read my first Frederick Forsyth novel and I am looking forward to reading more having bought a set of twelve of his novels. The Fourth Protocol is a well researched story based in a slightly in the future UK at the time it was written and it brought back memories for me of that time mid 80s. Excellent spy thriller. Ray Smillie. I could hardly put down this book. May 27, Santosh Bhat rated it it was amazing Shelves: paperback. Good old Spy thriller with many white- knuckle sequences. Doesn't go where you expect it to, and for that I am grateful. Oct 22, Tim rated it it was ok. The plot is well conceived and subtle enough. However, Forsyth's own politics and prejudice do leave a slightly disturbing smell. Jan 05, Angela rated it really liked it. Frederick Forsyth novels were a familiar fixture in our household when I was growing up, as both my parents loved his work.

It has been a great bonding experience for us, and Mr. Forsyth is our current author of choice- and we have both really enjoyed revisiting all his books, again. Forsyth has a great knack for writing wonderfully suspenseful and exciting read, there is always great tension, action, drama, some danger, intrigue, and lots more to hold your attention. I can always count on him to deliver an intriguing read. A few informative but rather boring passages that add only to show a bit of savoir faire Otherwise would recommend highly.

Preston attempts, albeit fruitlessly, to uncover other couriers connected to the operation. A month into the investigation, a bumbling Czechoslovakian operative, originally believed to be an Austrian , under the name 'Franz Winkler' arrives at Heathrow with a forged visa in his passport and is shadowed to a house in Chesterfield. Preston's patience is rewarded when Petrofsky shows up to use the radio transmitter that is located there. He trails Petrofsky to his rented house, where the bomb has been assembled. An SAS team is called in to storm the house, and wounds Petrofsky before he can detonate the bomb. Despite Preston's express wishes, the commander kills the Spetsnaz man during the raid. Before dying Petrofsky manages to say one last word: "Philby". Preston confronts Irvine with his theory that the operation was deliberately blown by Philby; the latter did not know Petrofsky's location but instead sent Franz Winkler, with an obviously false visa, to the location of the transmitter, and ultimately, to Petrofsky. Irvine admits to sabotaging the KGB's British operation by leaking disinformation through Berenson to General Karpov that they were closing in on their suspect. By sending Winkler, Karpov has thwarted a British publicity victory as Irvine understood the implication that Petrofsky must not be captured alive or exposed in the media. Irvine also admits that Philby has indeed been passing intelligence to the British embassy in Moscow via carrier pigeons , hoping to earn repatriation back to the United Kingdom, but he did not expose Plan Aurora, and even if he had, as far as Irvine is concerned, "he can rot in hell. At the novel's end, Harcourt-Smith is not confirmed as Director-General of MI5, because of his poor judgment in the case, and subsequently resigns from MI5 altogether. Preston also resigns but, through Irvine, finds lucrative private-sector employment that enables him to obtain full custody of his son. Marais is taken into custody by South African intelligence and Berenson's efforts are rendered unusable to the KGB, as Irvine intends to use his own spy network and plant the suspicion that Berenson was, in fact, a double agent , so that his information will be considered suspect.

The Fourth Protocol is my favorite spy novel of all time. It definitely falls into the "Commando Spy" category but is far better written than most. I love spy novels of most types and the Commando spy novels of which I refer to the novels as are particular favorites of mine but I also like the more behind the curtains novels that LeCarre writes. This book of Forsyth's is a fantastic cross Frederick Forsyth is one of my all time favorite novelists and my favorite of all "spy novelists". This book of Forsyth's is a fantastic cross breed of the two. I've read this book numerous times and never fail to get drawn in from head to toe. It is great in all the little details you get from Forsyth's novels about the steps of the KGB's renegade mission and the investigation of the protagonist's suspicions as well as the dirty pool that make the book so much fun to read. Agent John Preston is a great and sympathetic character who I can't help but root for. I wish he could have been used again in Forsyth's books as he was such a likable and heroic character. Nobody writes spy novels as well as the British and for my money no other author writes them as well as Forsyth. This is my favorite Spy novel of all time. If you love the nitty gritty of The Cold War as much as I do you'll understand. I can't recommend this novel highly enough. Feb 17, Paul Alkazraji rated it really liked it.

Bring back the old days! By this reviewer Frederick Forsyth is a writer who did write some classics when it comes to the thriller genre, The Odessa File about Nazi's post WWII, Dogs of war about the post colonial attitudes of big cooperations about former colonies, the day of the Jackal about the assassination of the French President. And all books have a very precise build up with a lot of details how certain things can be done, mostly illegal stuff, and then the writer still knows how to surprise you in the end. The Fourth Protocol is Frederick Forsyth is a writer who did write some classics when it comes to the thriller genre, The Odessa File about Nazi's post WWII, Dogs of war about the post colonial attitudes of big cooperations about former colonies, the day of the Jackal about the assassination of the French President. The Fourth Protocol is about the use of a small nuclear weapon inside a country that was party to a big treaty of Nuclear weapons reduction, it is the nightmare scenario. The book begins as a heist goes wrong or right, which is in the eye of the beholder, which turns bad in the aftermath for most involved. But somehow leads to the unearthing of a spy in Britain once again. Which leads us to another southern continent and a chase for a long-term sleeper agent. All the time we see a plan being created which would change the political future of a country through sheer manipulation in which master-spy Kim Philby is involved. It is a spy story, historical views upon an aspect of WW2 which involves Afrikaners, a thriller with a case upon which rest the property for the British Isles and the chasing involved. Right up to last page we know not what is happening and whom is doing the happening. A bloody brilliantly written book that should be considered as one of Forsyths great novels and one of the Uber thrillers ever written in the genre. So worthy of being read and worthy of a lot of praise. If you really do not fancy reading the book you can always watch the movie with Michael Caine and Pierce Brosnan which is a very decent movie. Have read this book several time but a re-visit ever so often seems to be inevitable and worth my time. Sep 08, Helio rated it liked it. This was a 3. The twists at the end almost garnished the book a four but I'm going with a three. Jan 19, Nathan rated it liked it. This is my first British-style spy thriller, and I have to say it stacks up pretty darned good next to the American equivalent. There are no Mary Sue characters, no great intuitive leaps of logic, no silly foolishness from the Bad Guys, and only a smidgeon of authorial politics coming into it. However, it does make me sad to see that every author of this sort of stuff that I've come across is Right Wing to some extent or another. I wonder what a Left Wing spy thriller would look like, and I wond This is my first British-style spy thriller, and I have to say it stacks up pretty darned good next to the American equivalent. I wonder what a Left Wing spy thriller would look like, and I wonder if there is some form of the genre kicking about in Russia in which KGB agents are the heroes against CIA machinations. Jun 04, Jim Puskas rated it it was amazing Shelves: the-cold-war , espionage-terrorism , favorites. This is Forsythe's most successful book about the Cold War. His research into the inner workings of the Soviet goverment was so astonishingly detailed and accurate that he came under the attention of the CIA! This book included several of the most intriguing and fully developed characters that Forsythe ever created. A terrific read which was regrettably made into a movie that managed to leave out all of the romance and subtlety of the book and dull the edges of the story.

Petrofsky is dispatched by high- ranking rogue elements in the Soviet, including no less than the fictitious General Secretary of the USSR and real-life infamous British traitor Kim Philby, to set off a relatively small-scale nuclear explosion in the UK and thus influence British elections in favour of the country's radical, anti- military, and anti-American left-wingers.

I fear my feelings towards all of his books will be about the same, and such a thing disappoints me, as I want to enjoy them more than I do. I kept stopping and starting, picking up other reads as my attention was not held. Such has been my experience with all my Frederick Forsyth reads to date. All I know is that I have yet to be pulled in from page one. Preston eventually realises that Petrofsky's target is RAF Baywaters, and locates Petrofsky's house, which lies right next to the base. When Petrofsky starts to activate the bomb, on an impulse, he checks the timer first and realises he has been betrayed. At that moment, an SAS team storms the house and during a struggle, Preston subdues and disables Petrofsky. To Preston's outrage, one of the SAS team cold-bloodedly executes Petrofsky, explaining in a matter of fact afterwards that he had orders to do so as Preston struggles in vain to save Petrofsky. Preston had become suspicious when known KGB agent Winkler was used as a courier, making it easy to follow him, and also when Petrofsky was killed instead of being captured for questioning. He surmised that discrediting Govorshin would benefit both Irvine and Karpov sneering to both that keeping hold over their careers is all that matters to them. Preston does not see any point in exposing them and leaves after expressing his contempt for their cynical power play Irvine secretly assuring Karpov that they have control over Preston, as they covertly observe him reunite with his young son. Michael Caine read the draft manuscript of the novel and suggested to Forsyth that they produce a film together. They hired George Axelrod to write a script and John Frankenheimer to direct, but were unable to raise finance. Axelrod and Frankenheimer left the project, Forsyth wrote the script himself and they got a new producer and director. For some of the interiors, rooms of King's College London on the Strand were used. Filming also took place in Finland. Towards the end of the film, the car chase in Ipswich is actually shot in Chelmsford on the A Chelmer Valley bypass which at the time was newly built. One shot shows helicopters flying under the Orwell Bridge which is often considered a local landmark. The film debuted at no. Jay Scott , film critic for The Globe and Mail said that "the movie is entertaining on a rudimentary, never-to-be-taken- seriously level. On the rare occasions when it does rise above the material, it's because Pierce Brosnan is chillingly effective as an assassin with the body temperature of a snake.

The Fourth Protocol by Frederick Forsyth

Agent Major Valeri Petrofsky has been reassigned at the request of the K. Chairman for a secret mission wherein he is sent to England to establish a residence near an American military base and receive various items from couriers from the U. John Preston is the top British spy catcher, currently at odds with his superior because he doesn't lick his boots. After he conducts an operation without his superior's permission which caused his superior some embarrassment, he is reassigned to the menial task of overseeing airports and ports. One day, one the couriers Petrofsky was expecting comes off of a freighter and has an accident which leaves him dead. Preston is informed by the pathologist that the man is not a seaman, so Preston goes through his things and finds that he was carrying something which he is told is an atomic bomb component. Preston now suspects that someone is bringing in parts for an atomic bomb, his superior doesn't want to let Preston be proven right, There is always a dilemma for the spectator who knows the literary work: the book vs the film. I understand that it is almost impossible to convert the whole book with its complexity to the movie, but still some important moments from the Fosyth's novel are missing and most of the story features are grossly simplified. However it's still an ordinary spy-game film, well directed, with good casting, not reaching over the other ones produced in late 80'. Violental and sexual content was added for effect. The female character Irina appeared in the story only for such purpose but I'm not blaming the creators for that - there has to be at least one female in let's say "bigger role", don't you think?
