LEADING AT THE EDGE: TRUE TALES FROM CANADIAN POLICE IN PEACEBUILDING AND PEACEKEEPING MISSIONS AROUND THE WORLD

摘要

LEADING AT THE EDGE is a must read" narrative of a little known aspect of Canada's policing history. It chronicles the emergence of Canadian police officers working independently, and side by side with the military, in some of the world s most dangerous hotspots. Beginning with the RCMP deploying to post-colonial Namibia and extending to other nations, including war-torn Yugoslavia, Guatemala, Kosovo, East Timor, Sierra Leone, the Sudan, Palestine, Afghanistan, and Haiti, the book tells the stories of RCMP, provincial, and municipal police officers who performed remarkable feats of bravery and community service over the past 30 years. Their assignments were both exhilarating and frightening, leaving a permanent imprint on the people that they protected and served, and on themselves.
