Unwinnable Peace

Untold Stories of Canada's Mission in Afghanistan

Tim Martin,

About this book

Canada's longest war (2001-2014) pushed military, diplomatic, judicial and humanitarian organizations to their limits. Was it all in vain?

Based on interviews with twenty-one key decision-makers and participants, many of whom are speaking publicly for the first time, Unwinnable Peace recounts the personal and professional challenges faced by individuals deeply committed to securing and rebuilding Kandahar province.

Diplomats planting seeds of democracy in a society dominated by warlords
Aid workers bringing relief and development to shattered communities
Mounties struggling to improve a corrupt and illiterate police force
A young foreign service officer who suffered life-changing injuries
Prison experts bringing international standards to a jail used to torture
The Canadian and Afghan generals who fought the Taliban
The Afghan–Canadian who risked his life to govern the Province of Kandahar
Interpreters desperate to save their families from retribution

These are the men and women who are still struggling to reconcile their sacrifices with the eventual Taliban victory.

A veteran diplomat, the author combines his personal experiences with those of his colleagues (Afghan and Canadian) to examine Canada's mission to Afghanistan at a human level.
