Once a Soldier, Twice a Citizen: Escape from France 1940 and Life After Wartime

by Leslie Wright, John Hawthorne (Editor), Adam Kay (Editor)

Calais, 1940. Hitler's panzers have reached the sea. This vital channel port is seized, and the defeat of France is now only hours away. For the desperate British soldiers remaining, only a small boat offers a slim chance of survival. Leslie Wright was the last man to clamber aboard - and today he is the last man standing of that brave and noble group. His post-war years have been lived to the fullest - and now Leslie's story is shared in this thoroughly entertaining autobiography. It's the remarkable account of a man once a soldier, forever a hero.
