Willie Apiata, VC: The Reluctant Hero

Description

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.

Inspiring, and heart warming, this is the story of an ordinary Kiwi facing extraordinary challenges. This edition has been adapted for young readers.
