Avoiding Armageddon

"Canadian appreciation of deterrence, arms control, and strategic stability differed conceptually from the models that emerged in the United States. Similarly, national interests, not those thrust on Canada by the external environment, were the primary influence on Canadian thinking about air defence and the domestic acquisition of nuclear weapons, the two most controversial defence issues of the 1950s.". "Richter places key historical developments under scrutiny in the context of contemporary defence debates, suggesting important lessons for today's defence planners."--BOOK JACKET.
