On today's Zero Limits Podcast I chat with Jamie Pennell New Zealand Special Air Service and author of Serviceman J: The Untold Story of an NZSAS Soldier

Jamie Pennell spent 22 years in the New Zealand Defence Force, with 18 years in the NZ SAS.

On 28 June 2011, a group of nine gunmen and suicide bombers attacked the Inter-Continental Hotel, Kabul. The attack and an ensuing five-hour siege left at least 21 people dead, including all nine attackers. Responsibility was claimed by the Taliban. Jamie's SAS patrol led the clearance of the hotel encountering many taliban fighters. Subsequently he was awarded New Zealand's second highest military honour by showing outstanding gallantry in the face of danger.

During his time in the SAS, he also fought alongside Willie Apiata and was there when his actions led to him being awarded his Victoria Cross.

After living the military Jamie’s decision to write a book was sparked by encouragement from peers and family, as well as a personal tragedy. The death of our comrade, Steve Askin, motivated James to share his story. He began writing a tribute for Steve’s family, which ultimately led him to expand his writing into a full book.
