Yet lives were at put at stake as mission dedication and military skill were pushed to the limit. Some of Canada?s most prominent journalists attempted to report on the war, but came away virtually empty handed. Daily briefings given at the National Defence Headquarters provided so little information most Ottawa journalists simply stopped going. The decision of the military to choke Canada?s news media was deliberate and based on a tactical and strategic rationale. Scattering Chaff explores the role of the Canadian Air Force in the bombing campaigns of the Kosovo Air War while examining the military?s interference with the news media attempting to report to the Canadian public. It explores the ways in which the military has come to manage the media as an element of operational security, mission focus, and of popular opinion. Drawing on in-depth interviews with the war?s Canadian participants and a treasure-trove of unpublished documents and photographs, this book is an unprecedented investigation of a little-known conflict and the forces that prevented it from being better known. 410 0$aBeyond boundaries series. 517 $aScattering Chaff 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aPeace studies & conflict resolution$2bicssc 606 $aBiography & True Stories$2bicssc 606 $aInternational relations$2bicssc 610 $aKosovo 610 $aCanadian Air Force 610 $aHistory 610 $aPolitical Science 610 $aCensorship 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 7$aPeace studies & conflict resolution. 615 7$aBiography & True Stories. 615 7$aInternational relations. 676 $a327 700 $aBergen$b Robert$01349193 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346697803321 996 $aScattering Chaff$93087106 997 $aUNINA
