Leakey's Luck is important because it provides us with a graphic eyewitness account by one who was there at the 'sharp end' - as a young tank squadron commander fighting Rommel's Afrika Korps in the desert, and later in North West Europe.
George Forty, well known in his own right as an author, and formerly director of the Tank Museum at Bovington, has edited Leakey's autobiography, setting the scene to each chapter and placing the events of the war within their strategic contexts.
