The Peaceable Kingdom?

A History of Terrorism in Canada from Confederation to Present

Canada may not come to the mind of many 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 our century and a half as a country. Irish nationalism, Sikh extremism, Islamist terrorism, and other forms of violent ideologies, we've seen them all. This book looks at our history with violent extremism through the lens of the women and men who are responsible for preventing it, and saving the lives of Canadians and others. A look behind the curtain of security intelligence and law enforcement, readers will learn of never-before-shared details on counter-terrorism.
