Grant Dawson?s analysis of political, diplomatic, and military decision making avoids a narrow focus on the shocking offences of a few Canadian soldiers, deftly investigating the broader context of the deployment. Dawson draws on interviews with key participants and documents made available under the Access to Information Act. He shows how media pressure, government optimism about the United Nations, and the Canadian traditions of multilateralism and peacekeeping all helped to determine the level, length, and tenor of the country?s operations in Somalia. His findings will undoubtedly play a seminal role in informing scholarly debate about this important period in Canadian diplomacy and military engagement. One of the first scholarly examinations of the Somalia operation, Here Is Hell will interest military and Canadian historians, policy analysts, political scientists, and those concerned with Canadian foreign, defence, and diplomatic history. It will undoubtedly play a seminal role in informing further scholarly debate on this important period in Canada?s military and diplomatic past. 606 $aSomalia Affair, 1992-1997 607 $aCanada$xArmed Forces$zSomalia 607 $aCanada$xHistory, Military$y20th century 615 0$aSomalia Affair, 1992-1997. 676 $a341.5/8409676309049 700 $aDawson$b Grant$f1972-$01716296 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813934003321 996 $a"Here is hell"$94111547 997 $aUNINA
