Written by Janice Gross Stein and Eugene Lang. Published by the Penguin Group (Canada), 2007. Description: |
| For the first time in a
hundred years, Canada's soldiers are fighting an insurgency. The Unexpected
War is the riveting story of how Canada, step by step, slipped into war,
with mounting casualties and grim battles in Kandahar. Written by one of Canada's best known experts on international security and by a former chief of staff to two ministers of national defence, The Unexpected War tells the inside story of how Canada's leaders made their choices to send soldiers to Afghanistan. Startlingly frank interviews with key leaders – including former prime minister Paul Martin; past ministers of defence Bill Graham, John McCallum, and Gordon O'Connor; and General Rick Hillier – reveal the dramatic behind-the-scenes story of Canada's deepening involvement in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is the future. Insurgents will wage low-intensity warfare against established armies again and again in the coming decades. The Unexpected War is a tough-minded assessment of the difficult choices that lie ahead. |
