Operation Friction 1990-1991
This official account of the crisis in the Persian Gulf traces the Canadian Forces commitment to the Gulf region in response to Iraqi aggression in 1990-1991. Written by two officers who served in the Persian Gulf during the period of hostilities in 1991, this official account is the fruit of four years of detailed research. Based upon their personal experiences, numerous interviews, and unrestricted access to official papers, they have produced a candid account of value for both the military professional and the interested civilian. In January 1991, the Chief of Defence Staff authorized the Director of History to post Major Jean Morin as field historian to the staff of the Commander, Canadian Forces Middle East (Commodore Ken Summers). It was the first time since the Korean War that a historical officer had been posted to the staff of a Canadian commander overseas.
Paris and the Cliché of History
Paris and the Cliché of History traces the changing historical meanings of photographs of this city during a century marked by urban renovation, war, occupation, liberation, and visual documentation. Challenging the idea that photographs merely document the past, it calls for new methods of reading photos as material objects with histories of their own and sheds insight on the capital's reduction to an image in the twentieth century.

Coulon describes the ambitious policy proposals of candidate Trudeau. He analyses some key actions of Trudeau the prime mini...
Le cours de l'Histoire
Le cours de l’Histoire est davantage qu’une autobiographie classique : il s’agit plutôt de « Mémoires ». Observateur et acteur de la scène internationale, Jocelyn Coulon relate, dans ses Mémoires, l’histoire de sa passion pour les relations internationales, offre des analyses de certains grands événements et phénomènes – les répercussions du coup d’État au Chili, la montée de la Chine, la fin de la Guerre froide, le rôle de l’ONU, l’influence des médias, la question du Québec, la course aux armements, le terrorisme –, décrit ses enquêtes à travers le monde et son engagement politique. La connaissance, l’aventure et l’action ont toujours guidé ses pas. Il n’hésite pas, aussi, à faire l’autocritique de certains de ses choix

Boire en Turquie
En Turquie, l'alcool ne fait partie ni des modes traditionnels de sociabilisation, ni des codes d’hospitalité et ne répond pas à des fonctions traditionnelles de partage ou d’échange. Pourtant on y boit et la thématique 'alcool’ est devenue ces dernières années un objet de mobilisation politique.
