This is an eminently readable book as the author is an eminently able writer.
I have read many of the works of this man and find all of them fascinating.
This shows the way an old English aristocrat goes to work when when his task is to clear up the slaving in Africa. This,against all odds.
The forerunner of the world famous book
Sailing Alone Around The World by the same author,It`s equally as good and therefore I give it the full 5 stars.
An Honours degree in the English language or a very large and comprehensive dictionary would certainly be helpful for those who wish to fully understand what this learned gentleman has to say.
I had neither and have therefore missed most of his points-I assume.
I have left this at three stars as it seems almost to be undecipherable to a mortal man.
I have little doubt that a person who could understand it would give it five stars however.
I would recommend that this book be added to the curriculum of all schools.
For those starting a business or thinking of starting one,this will surely help you on your way.
Even if you don`t wish to start a business this book will help you to arrange your life to advantage.
A somewhat rambling account of a reporters attempt to discover an explanation of the mysterious UFO sightings during the first half of the 20th century.
This man is not a story teller, he is a news reporter and as such his ability to render this account in an entertaining way leaves much to be desired.
Whilst based in fact, I assume that this will only really grip the die-hard UFO curious.
His conclusions contain no earth shattering revelations.

I am pushed to award it three stars.
Top of the Mariners Library since he made the voyage.
Kaiser Wilhelm said that he liked the book "because it never displayed any fear" in what must have been-in parts-a harrowing journey.
Open it anywhere and just go for a sail.
