Political Thriller (Sub Genre)

Political thriller: In which the hero/heroine must ensure the stability of the government that employs him. The success of Seven Days in May (1962) by Fletcher Knebel, The Day of the Jackal (1971) by Frederick Forsyth, and The Manchurian Candidate(1959) by Richard Condon established this subgenre. A more recent example is the 1980 film Agency.
