The legendary British writer and journalist Frederick Forsyt died at the age of 86 after a short illness.
In the 87th year of life, a British writer, journalist and former MI6 agent Frederick Forsyt died.
It was reported by The Times that there was a reference to his literary agent Jonathan Lloyd. Forsyth died on June 9 after a short illness.
Born in the city of Eshford in 1938, Forsyth first served as a pilot at the Royal Air Force of Great Britain. He later worked as a journalist for Reuters in Paris and Prague, and also cooperated with BBC News.
In 1968, at the time of the Civil War in Nigeria, Forsyt began sending information to British Intelligence MI6. He later admitted that he played the role of informant for more than 20 years – and did not receive payments for it.
Forsyth has become known worldwide thanks to spy thrillers, in particular Roman Shakal Day (1971), based on an attempt to test French president Charles de Gaulle. The book immediately became a bestseller, and was later filmed. Generally, the writer published more than 25 books spreading more than 75 million copies and translated into ten languages.
Among other iconic works are war dogs, Odessa Dossier and the fourth protocol. His last book was The Outsider’s autobiography, where he first spoke about his intelligence connection.
Earlier it was reported that the soloist of Odessa National Opera, Ukraine artist Vladislav Gorai died on June 8 in Sumy, conducting a voluntary mission.
