Racing Through Life (Preorder)

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 plus—MacKenzie captures a vanishing age of courage, curiosity, and fast cars.
