Political thriller : ウィキペディア英語版 | Political thriller A political thriller is a thriller that is set against the backdrop of a political power struggle. They usually involve various extra-legal plots, designed to give political power to someone, while his opponents try to stop him. They can involve national or international political scenarios. Political corruption, terrorism, and warfare are common themes. Political thrillers can be based on true facts such as the assassination of John F Kennedy or the Watergate Scandal. There is a strong overlap with the conspiracy thriller. When reviewing the film ''The Interpreter'', Erik Lundegaard attempted a definition: ==Literature== Before 1950 there were spy novels with political elements. Some earlier examples, however, can be found in the historical novels of Alexandre Dumas (particularly his ''Three Musketeers'' novels, which often involve political conspiracies), as well as such literary works as Joseph Conrad's novel ''The Secret Agent''. The actual political thriller came to life in the early days of the Cold War. Graham Greene's ''The Quiet American'' (1955) tells about the American involvement in Vietnam during the First Indochina War. Richard Condon's ''The Manchurian Candidate'' (1962) is set in the aftermath of the Korean War and the days of McCarthyism. In Frederick Forsyth's ''The Day of the Jackal'' an assault on Charles de Gaulle has to be prevented. Other authors of political thrillers include Jeffrey Archer and Daniel Silva.
