The most comprehensive history of Canadian military intelligence
and its influence on key military operations Canadian intelligence
has become increasingly central to the operations of the Canadian
Armed Forces (CAF). Canadian Military Intelligence: Operations and
Evolution from the October Crisis to the War in Afghanistan is the
first comprehensive history that examines the impact of tactical,
operational, and strategic intelligence on the Canadian military.
Drawing upon a wide range of original documents and interviews with
participants in specific operations, author David A. Charters
provides an inside perspective on the development of military
intelligence since the Second World War. He shows how intelligence
influenced key military operations, from domestic internal security
to peacekeeping efforts to high-intensity air campaigns-including
the October Crisis of 1970, the Oka Crisis, the Gulf War,
peacekeeping and enforcement operations in the Balkans, and the war
in Afghanistan. He describes how decades of experience, innovation,
and increasingly close cooperation with its Five Eyes and NATO
allies allowed Canada's military intelligence to punch above its
weight. Its tactical effectiveness and ability to overcome
challenges reshaped the outlook of military commanders, and
intelligence emerged from the margins to become a central feature
of military and defense operations. Canadian Military Intelligence
offers lessons from the past and critical implications for future
intelligence support with the creation of the Canadian Forces
Intelligence Command. This book will be essential to both
intelligence history and military history readers and collections.
The first comprehensive scholarly study of the British Army's
campaign against the Jewish insurgency in postwar Palestine, this
book shows how outdated doctrine, traditional resistance to change,
and postwar turbulence hampered the army's efforts to modify its
counter-insurgency tactics. It also shows why the security forces
failed to develop intelligence sufficient to defeat the insurgents.

This comparative study of terrorism and counter-measures and
their effect upon democratic practices and traditions is published
under the auspices of the University of New Brunswick Centre for
Conflict Studies in Canada. David A. Charters, Editor, has brought
together a team of well-known experts to assess the nature of
international terrorism in recent years and the possible effect of
anti-terrorist policies and counter-measures upon democratic
processes and civil liberties in Britain, Germany, Israel, Italy,
France, and the United States. Their findings challenge current
notions about terrorism and its consequences. A selected
bibliography points to some of the most important sources of
information on terrorism today.
The 1998 Good Friday Agreement that ended the conflict in Northern
Ireland left intriguing questions unanswered: who made the crucial
decisions about the use of the British Army during the Troubles -
the politicians or the generals? And how did these decisions shape
the army's operations on the ground?
