When Canada committed forces to the military mission in Afghanistan
after September 11, 2001, little did Canadians foresee that they
would be involved in a war-riven country for over a decade. The
Politics of War explores how and why Canada's Afghanistan mission
became so politicized. Through analysis of the public record and
interviews with officials, Boucher and Nossal show how the Canadian
government sought to frame the engagement in Afghanistan as a
"mission" rather than what it was - a war. This book analyzes the
impact of political elites, Parliament, and public opinion on the
conflict and demonstrates how much of Canada's involvement was
shaped by the vagaries of domestic politics.
