Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 2nd Edition. Unread copy in near fine condition. Culminating in 2004 with the "Chicoutimi" submarine tragedy, Jack Granatstein reveals that "forty years of cutbacks had reduced Canadian defence budgets to one of the lowest percentages of gross domestic product (GDP) among the nations of the North Atlantic Alliance.Forty years of cuts had reduced the military's manpower to a mere 53,000 effectives in late 2004. Forty years of budget slashing exercises had forced Canadian soldiers,sailors, and airmen and women to work with obsolete equipment. And forty years of prime ministers and foreign ministers chasing after Nobel Peace Prizes had led Canada to deploy its troops overseas time after time, until men and machines broke under the strain." The Montreal Gazette describes Granatstein's book as: "A quick, clear, fact-packed summary of 50 years of strategic misconceptions, political opportunism, financial temporizing, honest error and sheer folly."
