Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

"Canada's Early Nuclear Policy fills a longstanding gap in postwar history and political analysis. The decision - unique among pioneer atomic powers - not to acquire a nuclear arsenal ensured that Canada could offer crucial insights into the challenges of the new era. With interdisciplinary acumen Brian Buckley shows how today's paramount issues emerged, tracing Canada's place in the development of the international agenda."--BOOK JACKET.
