Top Secret Canada cover

National security in the interest of preserving the well-being of a country is arguably the first and most important responsibility of any democratic government. Motivated by some of the pressing questions and concerns of citizens, Top Secret Canada is the first book to offer a comprehensive study of the Canadian intelligence community, its different parts, and how it functions as a whole. In taking up this important task, contributors aim to identify the key players, explain their mandates and functions, and assess their interactions.

Top Secret Canada features essays by the country’s foremost experts on law, foreign policy, intelligence, and national security, and will become the go-to resource for those seeking to understand Canada’s intelligence community and the challenges it faces now and in the future.

"Top Secret Canada is a thorough and serious treatment of Canada’s multifaceted intelligence community and a significant contribution to the intelligence literature. It deserves a spot on the bookshelf of every scholar focused on Canadian defense and national security issues as well as the broader field of intelligence."

-- Joseph W. Gartin, CIA Sherman Kent School for Intelligence Analysis * Studies in Intelligence *

"This is an extremely valuable collection that should be essential reading for practitioners in Canada and abroad, and for legislators, journalists, and the interested public."

-- J. L. Granatstein, emeritus, York University * CHOICE
