After a decade of conflict, however, there is considerable debate about the efficacy of the mission, as well as calls to reassess Canada's role in the conflict. An authoritative and strongly analytical work, \u003cem\u003eEmpire's Ally \u003c\/em\u003eprovides a much-needed critical investigation into one of the most polarizing events of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection draws on new primary evidence - including government documents, think tank and NGO reports, international media files, and interviews in Afghanistan - to provide context for Canadian foreign policy, to offer critical perspectives on the war itself, and to link the conflict to broader issues of political economy, international relations, and Canada's role on the world stage. Spanning academic and public debates, \u003cem\u003eEmpire's Ally\u003c\/em\u003e opens a new line of argument on why the mission has entered a stage of crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jerome Klassen,Greg Albo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442645156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442645158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.30d","brand":"Jerome Klassen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065597833471,"sku":"9781442645158","price":93.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7a48863c-f3ef-4972-98c5-601cf3c4a839.jpg?v=1768676031","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/empires-ally-jerome-klassen-9781442645158","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
