Overview

One general's extraordinary journey from battlefields to racetracks.

From a dusty Nova Scotia farm to the roar of Formula One engines in Europe, Racing Through Life is the high-octane true story of one man's lifelong obsession with speed. Major-General Lewis MacKenzie grew up chasing adventure--from sneaking his father's car down country roads to commanding soldiers across continents. Along the way, he discovered that the smell of Castrol oil and the scream of a race engine could be as intoxicating as the call of duty. In vivid, often hilarious episodes--from bootleg driving lessons to dirt-track crashes, midnight engine rebuilds to racing at age eighty--MacKenzie captures a vanishing age of courage, curiosity, and fast cars.

More than a motorsport memoir, Racing Through Life is a testament to pursuing passion at any age, the bonds forged in pit crews and war zones, and finding joy in life's fastest corners.
