Leakey's Luck

Rating:
Summary: Leakey's Luck is a winner
Review: ??Leakey??s Luck?? is a riveting account of a tank officer involved mainly in the North African desert war. I am not sure why an editor was needed because Leakey's memoirs are very interesting standing alone. It is though the first and best first person account that I have read relative to this theater . Leakey did meet Rommell face to face but was fortunately able to escape in his American built Jeep.

The author was clearly a hero by any sense of the word. He virtually went AWOL on at least two occasions to join a fighting group at the front.
