Abstract

This argumentative study of two recent political thrillers, Cedric Bannel's Kaboul Express (2017) and Beginnings of Fall (2019) by Frederic Paulin focus on rhetorical strategies designed to convince us of the fraud and falsifications of the French intelligence services. While drawing in particular on Patrick Charaudeau's theories of Discourse analysis, so the aim of the research is to show how each writer deals with these wrong practices or policies related to the intelligence services either by defending or contesting them. The study will also endeavor to show how it is possible to understand current geopolitical issues by comparing the two novels. Not to mention the novelty of these two novels, it is the rhetorical approach to the novel of political thriller above all that gives this comparative study a kind of originality, due to the lack of exposure to it from this research perspective, as far as we know.
