With a foreward by The Rt. Hon. Winston S. Churchill, P.C.
Lionel Leslie (1900-1987) was the son of Leonie Leslie (née Jerome),
sister of Winston Churchill's mother, making him Winston's cousin.
Winston was also Lionel's godfather. Churchill calls Leslie 'a realist with
a keen if ingenuous eye' and says of the book that it 'tells a plain tale
in a lively and agreeable fashion, and should be welcomed most of all
by those who will envy the author his enjoyable, though sometimes
dangerous roamings.'
