The Peaceable Kingdom?: A History of Terrorism in Canada from Confederation to Present
Phil Gurski A History of Terrorism in Canada from Confederation to Present
Canada may not come to mind when we talk about terrorism, and yet it has been both the site, and origin, of terrorist attacks both here and around the world throughout Canada’s history. Irish nationalism, Sikh extremism, Islamist terrorism, and other forms of violent ideologies, we've seen them all. The Peaceable Kingdom? examines our history with violent extremism through the lens of the teams responsible for preventing it. A look behind the curtain of security intelligence and law enforcement, readers will learn of never-before-shared details on counter-terrorism.
A book made possible by the individuals responsible for saving the lives of Canadians and others, The Peaceable Kingdom? highlights those who have dedicated their lives to counter-terrorism and making Canada, and the world, a safer place.
