Born in north-west India, the strongest influence on her early life was her beloved Yah Mohammed, an illiterate Pashtun bearer, who saved her life during Partition.I did not know what to make of this autobiography and it was perhaps a pity I read it straight after Harold Evan's impressive memoir "Paper Chase" on his journalism career. Almost all journalistic memoirs amount to nothing more than the stodgy dough of old anecdotes and old office politics.

These same teachers often feel that “consequences” must be “deserved”, that their restrictions on those who have made bad choices, are somehow more reasonable. She has particularly deep knowledge of the culture and politics of the Middle East so I ws looking forward to an amusing and informative narrative. She has very credible comments to make on a huge range of topics if her views are strongly held at times, she certainly seems to be a good judge of charcters in the forefront of the world stage and politics in particular. Whether you agree with her or not you can always be sure her views are based on her outstanding journalism, and couched in her own sparkling style. At a time when journalists are ever-more pressured to see the world through Google, Leslie's career is a testament to the narcotic of running towards the fire and seeing the story for yourself.

After graduating from Oxford she began her career in Manchester in the Sixties on the Daily Express , where she was regarded with suspicion and even hostility for being both educated and female.

Despite knowing nothing about sport she developed a strong rapport with Pele and Mohammed Ali (especially after she hit him on the jaw to gain his attention). She claims that the only time she was forced to amend her copy was when she described Diana as 'promiscuous' and a shocked editor took it out. Even somebody like me, who vociferously opposes the honours system, can look at Ann Leslie and say: now, that's a Dame.Pay in 4 is a form of credit, so consider whether you can afford the repayments as use of the product may impact your credit score.
