"Message from The Right Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada"--Cover.

Canada's largest overseas commitment is Joint Task Force Afghanistan, the formation comprising all Canadian forces personnel and assets deployed in Southwest Asia. Canada had one over-arching objective: to leave Afghanistan to Afghans in a country that is better governed, more peaceful and more secure. The wonderful men and women you will meet within these pages worked tirelessly to make this happen. This is their story. The stories and images are arranged in a chronology that follows Canada's engagement in Afghanistan. The book is organized in chapters by year and operation, containing the stories, reflections and images produced by CF members and CF agencies such as Army News and Combat Camera. Contributions from journalists who embedded with the mission are also incorporated. This project, with the website www.afghanistanacanadianstory.ca was launched by a group of still serving and retired members of the Canadian Forces, in partnership with the Edmonton Military Family Resource Centre, who felt that all those who served in the Afghanistan Combat Mission should have an opportunity to share their stories with Canadians. A legacy album that chronicles the human face of the ten year mission.
