    THE FOURTH PROTOCOL A jewel robbery in London's West End forms the deceptively simple opening to Frederick Forsyth's fifth novel, the first since The Devil's Alternative. But there is much more at stake than a handful of rare diamonds in this, his most ambitious book to date. Gradually, with that mastery of story­ telling which he has made his own, Forsyth unfolds the details of a plan of spine-chilling ingenuity designed to shatter the defences of the West and change the face of British society for ever - a plan that, in its cynical ruthlessness, will breach the ultra­ secret Fourth Protocol and turn the fears that shaped it into a living nightmare. Hatched in a remote dacha in the forest outside Moscow, Plan Aurora is executed with relentless brilliance and skill by a hand-picked team. A crack Soviet agent, placed under cover in a quiet Suffolk town, begins to assemble the pieces of a jigsaw of devastation. Working blind on the faintest of clues, obstructed by his own chief, MIS investigator John Preston leads an operation of the greatest urgency, Continued on back flap ISBN 0-09-158630-5 90000 £9.95 net 9 780091 586300 IN UK ONLY Continued from front flap racing against an unknown deadline - and against internecine feuding and lethal power games among his own supenors. Even by the standards of Frederick Forsyth's earlier novels The Fourth Protocol is outstanding-for sheer excitement, for incomparable story­ telling, for its rivetingly authentic detail, for its revelations about the explosive interface between politics and intelligence activity on both sides.

  • Frederick Forsyth
    B I O G R A F I A FREDERICK FORSYTH FREDERICK FORSYTH Frederick Forsyth è nato ad Ashford , nel Regno Unito , il 25 agosto 1938 , noto scrittore e commentatore politico , giornalista e gran viaggiatore, parla correttamente 6 lingue e conosce oltre quaranta paesi tra Europa, Medio Oriente ed Africa. Cresciuto nel Kent , in una ricca famiglia di origini borghesi , frequentò la Tonbridge School per poi spostarsi all’ Università di Granada in Spagna . A soli 17 anni si qualifica per la licenza di pilota e a 19 comincia a volare per la RAF (è il più giovane pilota delle Forze Aeree inglesi ). Rimane in servizio per l'aeronautica dal 1956 al 1958, poi diventa reporter per l' Eastern Daily Press di Norfolk , e infine corrispondente per la prestigiosa agenzia Reuters ; dal 1961 è a Parigi , dove acquisisce le informazioni per Il giorno dello sciacallo , e in seguito in Germania e Cecoslovacchia , dove raccoglie materiale sui gerarchi nazisti che diventerà Dossier Odessa . Nel 1965 torna a Londra , come reporter della BBC in radio e in televisione ; come corrispondente diplomatico copre la guerra tra la Nigeria e il Biafra fino al settembre del 1967. In Biafra approfondisce la sua conoscenza della politica internazionale , e scopre la tremenda realtà delle truppe mercenarie, i cosiddetti mastini della guerra . Decide di tornare nel paese africano, e nel 1968 lascia la BBC per lavorare in Biafra; prima come freelance , poi per il Daily Express e il Time magazine . Le sue esperienze diventano un libro, The Biafra story , del 1969. L'unico suo lavoro non-fiction è un reportage accurato della guerra civile nigeriana , ma anche una denuncia della violenza estrema adottata dalle truppe nigeriane e della duplicità dei governi occidentali.
