Items related to The Unexpected War: Canada In Kandahar
With our troops now committed until 2011, The Unexpected War exposes the poverty of Canadian foreign policy, arguing that Canada’s various military missions in Afghanistan have been ad hoc in nature and made on the basis of political calculations—often flawed—about Canadian–American relations. Drawing upon interviews with key decision-makers and advisors, and a first-hand account by a former Defense Ministry insider, the book offers a gripping account of how Canada became embroiled in a new kind of war—fighting insurgency in a failed state.

Review:
'If you want to know how Canada wound up on the front lines in Afghanistan, follow the dots in THE UNEXPECTED WAR: CANADA in KANDAHAR. It reads like a whodunit. From the players, the private conversations and the presumptuous bravado in the Canadian and American corridors of power, this is the inside story.' -- Sally Armstrong
