About This Item
Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Key Porter Books Ltd, 1987. 1st Stated Ed. Hardbound. 8vo. 38 Pgs.. Nr Fine in Good DJ/Good. The Disarming of Canada by John Hasek. Published by Key Porter Books Ltd, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 1987. 1st Stated Edition. Hardbound. Paper DJ. Size 8vo (up to 9-1/2'' tall). Condition: Nr Fine in Good DJ. 248 Pgs. ISBN 1550130455. Canadia Catalog C87-0942832. This book reveals that Canada's defenses are in a deplorable state. Since the close of WWII, Canada has been on a steady course of unilateral disarmament. Standing armed forces are on 0.4% of the population, defense spending is about 2% of the GNP; military equipment is both inadequate and antiquated; and military schooling has over-emphasized skilled civilian trades to the detriment of combat and strategic training. The federal government, under Brian Mulroney, though claiming a commitment to improving defenses, seems determined to repeat the mistakes of the past. This book is a disturbing, provocative book. It challenges how the average Canadian looks at defense and provides a compelling assessment of why a peaceful nation like Canada must be able to defend itself.
