Military Mavericks by David Rooney

What makes a maverick? This study of heroes who broke the rules shows how often the day is won by sheer determination to succeed, despite the odds, despite the criticism of peers and elders. It is invariably the maverick who turns every challenge to an opportunity and wins the unwinable.
David Rooney saw war service in India and West Africa as a Captain in the Queen's Royal Regiment. After the war he read history at Keble College, Oxford, and went on to a teaching career in Belfast, Germany and England, including four years as a Senior Lecturer at Sandhurst. He is a Life Member of Clare Hall, Cambridge, and continues to lecture and write.
