Secret Struggle for Cold War Dominance

10/06/2025

With great sadness, we learned that legendary author Frederick Forsyth has passed away.

It was a true privilege to interview him for The Secret Struggle podcast—a moment I’ll never forget. His work, from The Day of the Jackal to The Odessa File and beyond, didn’t just shape modern spy fiction—it defined it.

Forsyth was (and remains) an endless source of inspiration for podcasts, films, and series diving into the worlds of espionage, politics, and power.
Thank you, Mr. Forsyth. 🎙️🖋️🎥
