There’s no doubt PHC was a compelling story teller but a I think the book most interesting to me was WARRIOR: THE LEGEND OF COLONEL RICHARD MEINERTZHAGEN.
Meinertzhagen was a facinating story, but I struggled with Peter's adaptation of his life and adventures. Peter admitted to me he had run out material for his quick stories and was venturing into more serious writing and it was tough for him without a better writing background. As he said to me half joking "I'm not worthy of tying WIlbur Smith's shoe and wish I could give my subjects justice like he could."
