Default Missed the show, darn

I first heard about the Medak Pocket firefight via Scott Taylor's Esprit de Corps Canadian military magazine, but indeed, the mainstream media chose to ignore it, not fitting as it did at the time into Canada's official "we're peacekeepers" mythos.
CBC journo Carol Off has done a decent job of bringing much of this story to light - she has a book "Ghosts of Medak Pocket"
