eVeritas Book Club: Fulfilling the Promise of Canada
The collection of twenty essays is broken into two sections. Part 1 contains ten essays about the Canadian military, and they cover all aspects from seapower to NORAD; from creating a defence intellectual base to a CAF General Staff, from the future of the Reserves to Canada’s need for hard power in a time of rupture. Most of the authors are ex-cadets who have held key positions both in uniform and afterwards. Part 2 shifts gears and moves to the socio-political domain and the ten essays are written by nationally recognized experts including RMC profs and a couple of ex-principals. These essays tackle Canadian national identity, our need for an effective foreign intelligence capability, to Canada’s universities to our policies on the Arctic.
