An extraordinary life, recorded for posterity, by a man who beat
adversity in his earlier days to fulfil his ambition to succeed in
the commercial world. John Lucken tells the story of his time from
an old-style naval school of the 1930s, thorugh WW11 and the Korean
War to entering the field of hydrographic survey and exploration
worldwide. He recalls working in Borneo and in the former Dutch New
Guinea before the arrival there of the powerful mining companies
and the influx of thousands of immigrants from other parts of
Indonesia. He was present in Nigeria when the first oil well was
discovered and stayed in contact throughout the Biafran civil war.
Emotional recollections that are a real eye-opener and a lesson to
anyone sat behind a desk in Britain about just how different a life
can be.
