description: Reading this book could change how you see Canada. Most of us believe this countrys primary role has been as peacekeeper or honest broker in difficult-to-solve disputes. But contrary to the mythology of Canada as a force for good in the world The Black Book of Canadian Foreign Policy sheds light on many dark corners: From troops that joined the British in Sudan in 1885 to gunboat diplomacy in the Caribbean and aspirations of Central American empire to participation in the U.N. mission that killed Patrice Lumumba in the Congo to important support for apartheid South Africa Zionism and the U.S. war in Vietnam to helping overthrow Salvador Allende and supporting the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile to Haiti Iraq and Afghanistan today.
