From the Armenian, Irish and Sikh militants of the 1980s, to the Tamil Tigers and Hezbollah, this book explores the terrorism that occurs around the world, with Canada as its hub. While Canadian political leaders deny the country has a terror problem, and therefore make little effort to counter it, the author unlocks Canada's secret intelligence files to reveal how agents of the world's most violent terrorist organizations have covertly operated in the country for more than two decades. This book is the first detailed account of the rise of international terrorism in Canada. It profiles the top-ranking Canadian terrorists and shows how, aided by official neglect, they have transformed the country into an important base from which terror is exported to the world.
