What the thunder said : reflections of a Canadian officer in Kandahar / Lieutenant-Colonel John Conrad ; foreword by Christie Blatchford.: D2-246/2009E-PDF

"The intent in these pages is to furnish a recollection as honest as I could capture it, complete with emotions, impressions, failures, and successes. The ensuing chapters offer neither an academic treatment of the Canadian campaign in Afghanistan nor a particularly detailed survey of logistics history. I will offer a brief overview of Canada's Afghanistan campaign and the logistics history of the Canadian Army only in as much detail as necessary to provide some context to the combat logistics challenges my unit faced on our country's return to Kandahar in a clear combat role"--Preface, page 21.
