Canada Without Armed Forces? cover

Not a political history of the demise of the Canadian Armed Forces, but a detailed, concise account of exactly what is wrong with defence policy and what is needed to fix it.

'"Once in a blue moon, a book appears that deserves to be read by prime ministers. Douglas Bland's Canada Without Armed Forces? is just such a study. Jean Chretien should read it to see the legacy he has left the Canadian Forces and future Canadian foreign policy. Paul Martin must read it to get an idea of the magnitude of the challenge his government faces - if it wants to have any foreign and defence policy at all ... If governments allow the Canadian Forces to fall into even greater disrepair, Canada cannot help but become the first modern and major power to disarm itself." J.L. Granatstein, author of Who Killed the Canadian Military?
