Leakey's Luck: A Tank Commander With Nine Lives - Softcover
Major-General Rea Leakey was one of the Royal Tank Regiment's greatest heroes of the Second World War. His autobiography is unique as it is based on the diary which he kept at the time, something which was strictly forbidden. It provides us with a graphic eyewitness account of a man who was actually there at the 'sharp end' and covers the whole period of his army service, from joining his first regiment up until the end of the Second World War. His story is truly remarkable, from the time he spent as a young tank squadron commander fighting Afrika Korps in the desert, and later as a Churchill tank battalion commander in Normandy and the fight through to the Rhine.

About the Author:
George Forty OBE served for thirty years as a British army officer in the Royal Tank Regiment before becoming curator of the Bovington Tank Museum, where he was the inspiration for its growth in the 1980s and 1990s. His first book was on the Desert Rats (with whom he served postwar) and were published by Ian Allan in 1976; since then he has written over fifty more, including Patton’s Third Army at War, and handbooks of the World War II armies of Britain, Japan, and the United States.
