The book was written in 1971, but the events of the story begin in 1962. The Day of the Jackal is a political thriller with a simple premise: an attempt to assassinate the French President ( Charles de Gaulle). If you have read/watched, both are worth revisiting. If you haven’t read the book or seen the movie, you should rectify that immediately. It’s a great book, and the subsequent movie based on the book is equally excellent.īoth are still as readable/watchable today as they were when they were first released in the early 1970s. I love all his books, but that one that really stands out for me is his first, The Day of the Jackal. For every author, there are books that matter and authors that matter.įor me, one of those authors is Frederick Forsyth.
