Loading... The Fourth Protocol (1984)by Frederick Forsyth (Author)
מותחן על המלחמה הקרה ( )NIL The plot and pacing are highly reminiscent of The Day of The Jackal, though the story is not nearly as taut and compelling. Makes you kind of nostalgic for the Cold War, though. Excellent spy novel about a Soviet plot to destablise the west by simulating a nuclear accident in England caused by the US. The descriptions of the security service's efforts to get on the trail of those involved are very well done. There is genuine suspense at the end. The book is better than the film, which had a simplified plot line and unnecessarily changed some details. A spy thriller set in the Philby, Burgess and Maclean era of MI5. Here, a thief happens to discover secret documents outlining a plot to get a very hard left pro-Soviet government elected in the United Kingdom. With Philby involved, not just by your usual democracy, either, of course, so, fun and games for an MI5 agent who has been involved in investigating this far left sort of thing. The title of the novel refers to a nuclear treaty. http://notfreesf.blogspot.com/2008/05/fourth-protocol-frederick-forsyth.html no reviews | add a review Is contained inHas the adaptation
