General Wayne Eyre led the Canadian Armed Forces through multiple, overlapping crises and its most challenging period in generations. He was the most senior Canadian military officer ever permanently stationed in the Indo-Pacific region when he became the first non-American Deputy Commander in Korea of United Nations Command. He commanded the reconnaissance platoon in the Battle of the Medak Pocket, Canada's largest battle between the Korean and Afghanistan Wars. And he commanded the unit mentoring the Afghan National Army in Kandahar, up to that time Canada's largest ever combat advisory mission.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Not since Roméo Dallaire’s \u003ci\u003eShake Hands with the Devil\u003c\/i\u003e and General Rick Hillier’s \u003ci\u003eA Soldier First\u003c\/i\u003e has a top Canadian general told his story, as Canadian generals do not have a tradition of capturing the history of their service. In \u003ci\u003eInto the Breach\u003c\/i\u003e, he recounts jumping right into the fire: leading peacekeeping missions in Cyprus, Croatia, and Bosnia, the Afghanistan evacuation, supporting Ukraine in their fight against Russian aggression, confronting Chinese intimidation in the Pacific and spy balloons over North America, and leading Canada’s contribution to the international effort to defend South Korea in a time of rapidly changing geopolitical dynamics. At home, he describes battling floods and forest fires across Canada, supporting the country during the worst of COVID, and, behind the scenes, fighting in the halls of power to get the resources needed to defend our nation as the threat levels increased every day, especially to our arctic sovereignty.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eInto the Breach\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates and is a tribute to the rich history of our military and its members in a changing age dominated by increasing threats, global disorder, and unrelenting operational demands for the Canadian Armed Forces.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48221638689023,"sku":"9781668222751","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781668222751_s600x595.jpg?v=1778166039","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781668222751","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
