Here is an interesting article about the writing of the book.

Frederick Forsyth, was in a bad situation, he had just been fired by the
BBC, he was flat broke and sleeping on the settee of a friend, with no
job in sight!

He decided to write a novel, although he was a journalist he had no idea
or training about how to write a book, so he wrote it like a documentary,
the rest is history.

Full article here.

Enjoy.

Mike.
