Luke's Log by K. D. Luke PDF Summary

Book Description: This fascinating autobiography recounts the story of the author's long and distinguished life, from his birth in south-east London in 1912 through to a colourful career in the diplomatic service and beyond. Showing considerable promise as a student, K. D. Luke thrived within the educational system and went on to attend Oxford University from 1933 to 1935. An aptitude for languages and a strong desire to travel led to his enrolment with the Malay Education Service; so it was that he found himself teaching at the Malay College at Kuala Kangsar. By 1941, however, World War II caught up with Malaya; the author, along with all other expatriates still resident in the region, was taken as a prisoner of war by the Japanese and forced to work on the infamous Thai-Burma Railway. Reunited with his wartime bride, Phyllis, when hostilities ceased, Kenneth's career blossomed, with headships of two Malay schools followed by various appointments, working for the British Government and later the UN, utilizing his expertise in education all over the world, including the USA, Africa, Laos, Israel and many other areas.The overwhelming impression given in this book is that of the author's humanity in the face of many challenging situations. In particular, his description of his years as a prisoner of war is deeply moving, though never melodramatic. Equally interesting are the insights we are given into the world of international diplomacy, from the personal relationships built up and treasured to the elegant cocktail parties.
