Trudeau’s World: Insiders Reflect on Foreign Policy, Trade, and Defence, 1968-84
Pierre Trudeau and most of his contemporaries at home and abroad are now dead. This book offers reflections on Canadian foreign, trade, and defence policies from interviews conducted more than three decades ago with key policy makers, diplomats, and military officers in the Trudeau government and of that era.

Kim Nossal Charlie Foxtrot: Fixing Defence Procurement in Canada Toronto
Reviewed by : J.L. Granatstein, Canadian Global Affairs Institute, Toronto [email protected] defence procurement in Canada has been and is mess is beyond dispute. From the Ross Rifle at the turn of the century to the CF-105 Arrow, from the botched Sea King helicopter replacement to the Iltis jeep, the continuing F-35 fighter debacle, and host of other delayed equipment purchases, Canadian governments and the Canadian defence establishme…
Pierre Trudeau on His Foreign Policy: A Conversation in 1988
In the summer of 1988, Robert Bothwell and Jack Granatstein were pursuing their research for the final volume in the Canadian Institute of International Affairs' series Canada in World Affairs. As the concluding volume in the long-lived series, the ordinary two-year time span was abandoned; instead, the book was to cover the 1968 to 1984 period, or, in other words, all of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's foreign policy (as well as the Joe Clark in…

Canada's Army: Waging War and Keeping the Peace
Losing the Hearts and Minds, or How Clio Disappeared from Canadian Public Schools
VERY DIFFERENT IN TEMPER, purpose, and point of view, the three books under discussion (for I rather invoke them than review them below) converge around a seminal development: Canadian history, as taught in the schools, has changed drastically since the 1960s, and in ways disturbing to more than one side in the country's ongoing culture wars. On the one hand, J.L. Granatstein's Who Killed Canadian History? is the latest offering from a prolific a…
The Veterans Charter and Post-World War II Canada
Rehabilitating Canada's soldiers to civilian life following World War II was a massive undertaking. The Veterans Charter, the program devised by the federal government to do this, promised to provide "opportunity with security" and was one of the building blocks of the Canadian welfare state. This collection of essays by some of Canada's leading historians explores the Charter's origins, history, and benefits as well as highlights its role in the…

A Diary of the Defence Review, 1997
THE TROUBLES OF THE CANADIAN ARMED FORCES over the last five years have been unending: murders in Somalia, with trophy photographs of the killers and their bloodied victim; hazing rituals of the Canadian Airborne Regiment at Petawawa, in full colour on video; scandals in Bosnia; disappearing documents at National Defence Headquarters. The sense that generals were abusing their privileges and the public trust, every detail lovingly propagated in t…

Although it never achieved national power, the CCF exerted a major influence on the shape of Canadian politics and kept the banner of democratic socialism flying in a hostile landscape.

Canada's War: The Politics of the Mackenzie King Government 1939-1945
Getting on With the Americans: Changing Canadian Perceptions of the United States, 1939-1945
The Second World War is regularly trumpeted as the period in which Canada came of age. The nation contributed very substantially to the Allied victory in men, materiel, and foodstuffs, and as a result of this effort Canada emerged from the war as perhaps the leader of a group of middle powers. There was a very great distance between a middle and a great power, to be sure, but there can be no doubt that fortunate geo- graphical circumstance and ec…

Arthur Meighen. A Biography
The Conservative Party and the Ogdensburg Agreement
Canadian public's response to the Ogdensburg Agreement of 17 August 1940 was generally favourable. Prime Minister Mackenzie King's mail once brought nothing congratulations. Correspondents lauded King's master stroke and marvelled at happy, almost miraculous event. Editorial reaction in the national press was similar in tone, and there seemed to be no outright opposition to the outcome of the King-Roosevelt conversations. The verdict of cartoon i…

Peacekeeping Is Our Profession
Peacekeeping as a concept has had its ups and downs. There were some splendid successes in the past as at Suez in 1956 and on the IndoPakistani border in 1965. On both occasions the United Nations demonstrated an impressive ability to react with speed and to adapt itself to new situations. But there have been failures too, and lately there have been rather more of these than successes. The disastrous demise of unbp in 1967 is only the most glarin…

The transformation produced by the Second World War on Canada was simply extraordinary, one probably unmatched by any other period in its history. In 1939 the country had still been clutched by the Depression, with massive unemployment rolls, hundreds of thousands on welfare or relief, and factories working at part capacity. Six years later, there was full employment, a gross national product that had more than doubled from $5.6 billion to $11.8 …
