The trauma of hostile fire, roadside bombs, mines, and the ab-
duction and death of comrades is told in vivid, unforgettable
detail. "The fundamental and essential purpose of the United
Nations is to keep the peace. Everything which does not further
that goal, either directly or indirectly, is at best superfluous."
– Henry Cabot Lodge, former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations
From the 1950s to the present day, Canadian peacekeepers have been
employed as a stabilizing force and an instrument of peace in every
corner of the globe. In this first-hand account, Terry "Stoney"
Burke paints a graphic picture of a peacekeeper’s life in one of
the most tumultuous and dangerous regions of the world. From the
war-torn island of Cyprus, through his later missions in Israel,
Lebanon, and Syria, we follow him as he weaves an intriguing
narrative of life as a Canadian peacekeeper.
