Reviews

Pearson's Peacekeepers brilliantly sums up the significance of the UNEF experience, which was both a failure and a wonderful achievement. Carroll's book is a major original contribution to the field. He shows that, although a so-called classic example of peacekeeping, UNEF has far more relevance to current Canadian operations in response to international crises than is generally thought. - W.A.B. Douglas, official historian of the Canadian Armed Forces and author of the historical report for the Department of National Defence, in 1973, on the evacuation of the UNEF
