UNDERCOVER FOR THE RCMP, Royal Canadian Mounted Police Stories by R.S.S. Wilson, Illustrations by Brian McCandles, is a 180-page historical memoir detailing firsthand covert operations and police fieldwork in Western Canada.
Published in 1986 as a first edition by Victoria's Sono Nis Press, this rare softcover book features distinct illustration work by artist Brian McCandles. The author, Robert Stephen Seymour Wilson (1902–1979), was a longtime member who joined the Force in 1928, trained at the historic Depot Division, and rose to the rank of Superintendent before his retirement in 1952.
This book provides a collection of personal accounts and operational narratives tracking the evolution of early undercover tactics spanning from the late 1920s through the mid-20th century. Today, original copies from this relatively small regional print run are primarily sought after by militaria collectors and Canadiana enthusiasts.
