Shadow Warriors / Les Guerriers de l'Ombre: The Canadian Special Operations Forces Command / Le Commandement des Forces d’Opérations Spéciales du Canada

By Bernd Horn

An unprecedented introduction to the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command.

On February 1, 2016, the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM) celebrated its tenth anniversary. This benchmark passed largely unheralded. After all, few Canadians actually realize their nation possesses special operations forces, and fewer yet know Canada's long and distinguished history with these forces and the exceptional warriors who fill their ranks. CANSOFCOM carries on this tradition and in its short history has earned a reputation for courage, professionalism, and operational excellence. This book is a rare glimpse into the shadows, providing detailed information on CANSOFCOM and its units, as well as a pictorial history of the Command's evolution.

Le 1er f?vrier 2016, le Commandement des Forces d'op?rations sp?ciales du Canada (COMFOSCAN) a c?l?br? son dixi?me anniversaire. Ce jalon est pass? largement inaper?u. Apr?s tout, peu de Canadiens savent que leur pays poss?de des forces d'op?rations sp?ciales et encore moins de personnes savent que le Canada a une longue tradition prestigieuse avec ces forces et les guerriers exceptionnels qui les composent. Le COMFOSCAN poursuit cette tradition et, depuis sa cr?ation, ses membres ont ?t? reconnus pour leur courage, leur professionnalisme et leur excellence op?rationnelle. Ce livre offre un rare aper?u de ces guerriers de l'ombre. Il offre des informations d?taill?es sur le COMFOSCAN et ses unit?s, en plus de pr?senter l'histoire illustr?e de l'?volution du commandement.
