Douglas L. Bland is a Canadian writer. A retired lieutenant colonel in the Canadian Armed Forces, Bland taught defence studies at Queen's University, Ontario for 15 years. He is best known for the controversial 2009 novel Uprising, a thriller about disenfranchised First Nations activists making protest attacks on Canadian oil and gas projects, which one reviewer called "the most dangerous book in Canada".^[1]^[2] Bland followed his novel up with Time Bomb: Canada and the First Nations arguing that a conflict between settlers and First nations was increasingly likely, and offering military advice to prepare the government for such a conflict. A First Nations reviewer of this second book described it as an "enemy text".^[3]
