Pilgrim Days: A Lifetime of Soldiering from Vietnam to the SAS

English

By (author): Dr Alastair MacKenzie

We are the Pilgrims, master; we shall go, Always a little further; it may be, Beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow.' If there was ever anyone who went a little further, a little beyond, it was Alastair MacKenzie. In a career spanning 30 years, MacKenzie served uniquely with the New Zealand Army in Vietnam, the British Parachute Regiment, the British Special Air Service (SAS), the South African Defence Forces famed ParaBats, the Sultan of Omans Special Forces and a host of private security agencies and defence contractors. MacKenzie lived the soldiers life to the full as he journeyed the Golden Road to Samarkand. This extraordinary work from the author of Special Force: The Untold Story of 22nd Special Air Service Regiment (SAS) vividly documents the experience of infantry combat in Vietnam, life with the Paras, the tempo of selection for UK Special Forces, covert SAS operations in South Armagh and SAS Counter Terrorist training on the UK mainland, vehicle-mounted Pathfinder Brigade insertions into Angola and maritime counter-terrorism work in Oman.
