Uprising: A Novel ReviewDouglas L. Bland's novel "Uprising",is a startling, riveting read. For a certain type of reader. It contains absolutely no love interest, no sex at all and the only car chases end in fireballs. It all takes place in Canada or about Canada and only Canadians of a certain mentality will get a lot of the background. What we get is a most excellent, tightly written military history of a fictional event. Professor Bland is an expert military man and his expertise shines through in all the many scenes of military action. He has done his readers the courtesy of researching closely the physical settings of his action, so that for example, this reader could smell the sand and pines of Petawawa as the book's action begins. The whole scenario is riddled with uniquely Canadian experience; the preaching CBC, the shallow media, the clueless bureaucrats, all our national cast of mealy-mouthed hypocrites. So the book would quite certainly, be largely baffling to a non-Canadian. People from other countries would refuse to believe that we could have a whole governing class so divorced from reality. It would also be a frustrating book for anyone not fairly well versed in military ideas. The action is like real military experience; long spells of menacing quiet interrupted by minutes of pure terror. The characters are not deeply drawn and their roles are concentrated on a head-long plunge through a series of cascading disasters, so that the reader is riveted by the action, not by the personalities. The book is a delightful "Guy's book", lots of high tech explosions and clever plot, not a whiff of sweet romance. A great read. A very Canadian read.Uprising: A Novel Overview
