This charming gift book takes a humorous look at the little-known history of US/Canadian hostilities, focusing on the top-secret invasion plans each country drew up for the other during the 1920's and 30's. Featuring extended (and hilarious) excerpts from each (now de-classified) plan, as well as invasion maps, illustrations, and historical anecdotes that chart the unneighborly history along the 5,000 miles of the "world's friendliest border.".

With colorful maps and historical imagery, the breezy text walks the reader through every aspect of the long-simmering rivalry—from the "Pork and Beans War" between Maine and Newfoundland lumberjacks, to the "Pig War" of the San Juan Islands, culminating with excerpts from actual declassified invasion plans the Canadian and U.S. militaries drew up in the 1920s and 1930s. A perfect gift for history buffs (and Canadians and Americans alike), War Plan Red offers up a new wrinkle in the ever-evolving history of North American continental relations.
