Description

A Soldier First by General Rick Hillier is a candid memoir from one of Canada’s most recognized and outspoken military leaders. A former Chief of the Defence Staff of the Canadian Forces, Hillier shares the story of his life, career, leadership, and the difficult decisions that shaped Canada’s modern military role.

Born in Newfoundland, Hillier rose through the ranks and served in major domestic and international operations, including the 1998 ice storm, NATO work in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Canada’s mission in Afghanistan. His memoir offers an inside look at military command, political pressure, bureaucracy, public scrutiny, and the human cost of war.

Direct, personal, and deeply Canadian, A Soldier First is a strong choice for readers of military memoirs, Canadian history, leadership books, Afghanistan War history, and nonfiction about politics, service, and sacrifice.
