Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Corporal Willie Apiata became the first New Zealander since the Second World War to be awarded the Commonwealth's highest military award for his actions with the NZ SAS in Afghanistan. From his early life in small town East Coast New Zealand to his actions in the deserts of Afghanistan, this is his story in his words. This book will not only establish the place of Corporal Apiata in New Zealand's history but will give an insight into the nature of a man who is truly a reluctant hero.

Hardcover in Dustjacket. Condizione: Near Fine. ANZAC Military New ZealandâI knew we had to move. With the wagon being on fire it could only protect us for so long. There were that many RPG rounds rocking it, hitting it one after the other ⦠sooner or later one of us was going to take a round if we stayed there.âLance Corporal Willie Apiata, a New Zealand Special Air Service trooper, trapped at the front of a major fire-fight with suspected Taliban insurgents on a dark and desolate Afghan hilltop. One of his mates was bleeding to death and the other was pinned down under intense enemy fire.For Apiata there was no choice.He fell back on the values instilled in him by his mother, the skills learnt during a tough pig-hunting life in the bush on the East Coast of New Zealand, and the knowledge won from years of training with the NZSAS.With the lives and safety of his mates his only priority, Apiata performed an act of courage that has now become part of New Zealand history â" an act that saw him become the first recipient of the Victoria Cross for New Zealand and just the 14th holder of the Commonwealthâs highest honour for bravery since the end of the Second World War.This is the story of Willie Apiata, VC, an ordinary kiwi bloke, a very reluctant hero, just doing his job. 255 p., [24] p. of plates : col. ill., col. ports. ; 24 cm. #080924 Apiata, Willie, 1972- New Zealand.
