FOREWORD

IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE to present the third book in a series discussing individual and collective aspects of military misbehaviour and protest. The Insubordinate and the Noncompliant: Case Studies of Canadian Mutiny and Disobedience, 1920 to Present builds upon the scholarship of the previous two Canadian Forces Leadership Institute (CFLI) volumes, The Unwilling and the Reluctant: Theoretical Perspectives on Disobedience in the Military and The Apathetic and the Defiant: Case Studies of Canadian Mutiny and Disobedience, 18121919, to form a collection of material that elaborates on the theory and historical interpretations of these topics within a Canadian context over the past two centuries. As such, this book represents another step towards the CFLI Strategic Leadership Writing Projects goal of creating a distinct body of professional material that captures the experiences of Canadian military leadership.

Themes of mutiny and disobedience may seem of little value to the study of the profession of arms. On closer examination, however, they demonstrate that sailors, soldiers, and aviators have ways to commune with formal military authorities outside of the hierarchical channels of communication that are normally bounded by authority and discipline. We need to understand the precursors to these acts of protest so that the root cause rather than the result can be addressed in a timely and effective manner.

Examination of incidents of mutiny and disobedience can provide a perspective on military leadership that is seldom considered: the view from below. Leaders at all levels should take into account how their actions and decisions are perceived by those they lead and manage. This volume, along with the others in this series, provides material for introspection on this sometimes challenging viewpoint.

Within the realm of military education one must approach topics of this nature with an open mind, critically scrutinizing content and context for the lessons that may be found there. I hope this work is enjoyed by its readership and that it helps to foster discourse regarding facets of leadership and management within the Canadian Forces. When reviewing this book, pay heed to the words of the philosopher George Santayana: Those who fail to learn the lessons of the past are condemned to repeat them.
