Writers in British Intelligence: Frederick Forsyth in Conversation

Join Frederick Forsyth, renowned thriller writer, journalist and former MI6 agent at this special event in Brunel University’s Eastern Gateway.

Frederick Forsyth is known throughout the world for his spy and crime thrillers. As an investigative journalist and as an agent for British Intelligence, however, he has sometimes found himself at the centre of history.

In Biafra, he was MI6’s man-on-the-ground. In South Africa, he was sent in again to ferret out nuclear secrets.

His fiction draws richly on real-life experiences, from covert operations behind the iron curtain to being hacked by the US government. From the explosive success of The Day of the Jackal to his most recent novel The Fox, Forsyth has established himself as one of the most popular and inventive writers of his generation.

Join him at Brunel as he reflects on a unique journey in and out of the secret state.
