The Unexpected War by Stein Janice Gross,Eugene Lang Pdf

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.

The Unexpected War by Jean-Pierre Breton Pdf

It is February 24, 2037, and the world has forever changed. Formerly a sniper for the Peoples Liberation Force, Lances only crime is defending his country against the enemy. But now he is about to pay the ultimate price. As Lance awaits execution, he is only comforted by the morbid thought that at least he will not die alone. As his seventeen-year-old cellmate dies before his eyes, Lance thinks he is the next to go. Instead, he is carried off and brutally interrogated by the fiends who have slowly invaded the world for years. In the midst of his torture, he is secretly befriended by Lara, a female fiend, who seems compassionate and concerned for his well-being. But Lance has too much at stake to trust the beautiful blonde, for it is evident that soon both he and the human race will be enslaved by the evil laws of Dracona. As Lara assumes responsibility for her new friend, Lance is slowly losing hope that he will ever be rescued from an uncertain fate. In this futuristic tale, a fiend and a human caught in the midst of a brutal war for control must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice for both love and freedom.

Histories of the Unexpected: World War II by Sam Willis,James Daybell Pdf

Histories of the Unexpected not only presents a new way of thinking about the past, but also reveals the world around us as never before. Traditionally, World War II has been understood in a straightforward way but the period really comes alive if you take an unexpected approach to its history. Yes, battles, bombs and bravery all have a fascinating history... but so too do handkerchiefs, furniture, Mozart, insects, blood, mothers, suicide, darkness, cancer and puppets! Each of these subjects is equally fascinating in its own right, and each sheds new light on the traditional subjects and themes that we think we know so well.
