The outsider : my life in intrigue / Frederick Forsyth.

Summary:

"From Frederick Forsyth, the grand master of international suspense, comes his most intriguing story ever--his own"-- Provided by publisher.
He was the RAF's youngest pilot at the age of nineteen, barely escaped the wrath of an arms dealer in Hamburg, got strafed by a MiG during the Nigerian civil war; the Stasi arrested him, the Israelis feted him, the IRA threatened him. And that's just for starters. Forsyth has been writing extraordinary real-world novels of intrigue for over forty years-- but what most people don't know is that some of his greatest stories of intrigue have been in his own life.
