Description
The Day of the Jackal is the electrifying story of the struggle to catch a killer before it's too late. It is 1963 and an anonymous Englishman has been hired by the Operations Chief of the O.A.S. to murder General De Gaulle. A failed attempt in the previous year means the target will be nearly impossible to get to. But this latest plot involves a lethal weapon: an assassin of legendary talent. Known only as The Jackal, this remorseless and deadly killer must be stopped, but how do you track a man who exists in name alone?

Truth or Fiction !!!!
WoW,, always loved Frederick's novels. Highly descriptive. It is so well written that one will get confused whether this based on a true story or not. Well, most of the characters that i have come across in his novels are true characters, description is so damm accurate and some portion is intelligently mixed with fiction, making it the best read. I am still scratching my head after i read 'The Odessa File', even in google i cant find a definative answer to whether the odessa file really exis...

Awesome!
An exciting journey through suspense and politics. Loved every minute of reading this book. Cleverly paced and makes you travel through France's volatile political environment. One of the best works of Frederick Forsyth.

Unputdownable and Unforgetable.
There are books that stay with you long after you have read them. THE DAY OF THE JACKAL is one such. I have read this book a few years ago, but having lost my old copy (and being an avid collector), i purchased it again. Reading it for the second time was as good as the first.
Now there is no point discussing the plot but for all FORSYTH fans out there- this is a must read. It's the master's best work and for readers new to Forsyth, i suggest you start with this book. You will become his fan...

Best in it's genre
BEFORE YOU READ IT, I would recommend all readers to read a little about the French-Algerian war. This would seriously help during the first few pages.
Coming to the book, Frederick Forsyth did a brilliant job. The research done for the book is deep, precise and amazing. Forsyth goes deep into the 1961 French.
You'll think it's just ordinary people trying to kill the President of France but it's not.
Forsyth appropriately describes the O.A.S and the politics related to the appointment of Pre...

Magnificent!
I was eagerly waiting to write on this for the last couple of weeks but decided to wait until I finish the book. So, as you can rightly guess, I finished it yesterday night, and phew! it was GOOD, really REALLY good. A thoroughly enjoyable story, superb narrative style of Forsyth, pin-point detailing, highly-paced and really witty and lovable choice of words. And what I liked most is its ending, just an appropriate ending this kind of tale needs, an ending that leaves you in thoughts, leaves ...
