Shooting from the Shadows | by Wings Williams

Description

Between 1956 and 1971 the New Zealand SAS were deployed on active service four times. Michael ‘Wings’ Williams career in New Zealand Army, and the New Zealand SAS, spans a significant portion of this period – and this book takes the reader through two of those key campaigns; Borneo and South Vietnam.

This book gives us a glimpse into the world of an SAS soldier at that time through the eyes of one of New Zealand SAS’ most well-known veterans. This story is important for many reasons, not least because these Cold War experiences would be so critical for future generations of New Zealand Special Forces soldiers, including its most famous one; Willie Apiata VC.
