Plot Summary of Flashpoint Quebec
"A U.S. Army 10th Mountain infantry task force is thrust into a volatile secessionist Quebec. The mission was supposed to be a permissive U.S./Canadian joint spearhead insertion into the St. Lawrence port city of Trois Rivieres aimed at bringing the breakaway province back to negotiations in resolving its claim of secession from Canada. Instead, the American infantry unit is drawn into a violent urban battle with a column of main battle tanks from the revolutionary Quebec Defense Force, a force clandestinely supported by France."
Michael Karpovage, Resident Scholar
