- Summary
- In 2006, David Fraser was the Canadian general in charge of the joint military command in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. The NATO Alliance was about to engage the enemy in the greatest and bloodiest battle of their 70-year history. And they were grossly outnumbered. From the Canadian in charge of the joint military command, this is the real on-the-ground story of one of NATO's bloodiest, most decisive and misunderstood operations: The battle of Panjwayi, the defining moment of "Operation Medusa."
