<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A catastrophic confrontation between Canada's so-called settlers and First Nations communities, fuelled by fundamental prejudices, misunderstandings, Canada's economic vulnerabilities, and the rising political power within the First Nations society, make such a First Nations uprising feasible and, in theory, inevitable.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A look at how a major confrontation between Canada and the First Nations could erupt, and how it might be prevented. <br/><br/>There are few greater tragedies than a war waged by a society against itself. As <i>Time Bomb</i> shows, a catastrophic confrontation between Canada's so-called "settler" and First Nations communities is not only feasible, it is, in theory, inevitable. Grievances, prejudice, and other factors all combine to make the likelihood of a First Nations uprising very real.<br/><br/> <i>Time Bomb</i> describes how a nationwide insurgency could unfold, how the usual police and military reactions to First Nations protests would only worsen such a situation, and how, on the other hand, innovative policies might defuse the smouldering time bomb in our midst.<br/><br/> The question all Canadians and First Nations must answer is this: Must we all suffer the disaster of a great national insurgency or will we act together to extinguish the growing danger in our midst? </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Bland's examination of the problem, the players, the obstacles, and the stakes make Time Bomb an important read for all Canadians and also an educational read for others.-- "Evilcyclist Blog"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Douglas Bland served for thirty years as a senior officer in the Canadian Armed Forces, and later as Chair of Defence Studies at Queen's University.
