Publisher Synopsis
... this is a book that matters, and it should be read widely. -- Galen Roger Perras, University of Ottawa * Canadian Historical Review * ...by stressing the evolution of Canadian Army strategic thinking and institutional development as well as what the Canadian Army did to be successful on the new conventional-nuclear battlefield during the first two decades of the Cold War, In Peace Prepared is a major addition to Canadian historiography.
