Publisher and industry reviews

UK Kirkus review

After the advent of the spy novel, it was Forsyth who 're-internationalized' the thriller and reintroduced the broad political background missing since John Buchan. The Jackal triumphantly makes us empathize with a cold-blooded assassin, and believe in the possibility of his success in killing de Gaulle, even when we know Le General died in his bed! (Kirkus UK)
