Also included is an examination of a new strategic experiment - the Provincial Reconstruction Team and the technological advances used in this war. Cautionary predictions conclude the book. Canada in Afghanistan is an introduction to what is happening in Afghanistan and what we can expect through 2009"—BOOK JACKET.
