During the Second World War, Canadian factories produced mountains
of munitions and supplies, including some 800 ships, 16,000
aircraft, 800,000 vehicles, and over 4.6 billion rounds of
ammunition and artillery shells. However, the end of hostilities in
1945 turned the leftover assets into peacetime liabilities. Alex
Souchen provides a definitive account of the disposal crisis
triggered by Allied victory and shows how Canadians responded to
the unprecedented divestment of public property by reusing and
recycling military surpluses to improve their postwar lives. War
Junk recounts the complex political, economic, social, and
environmental legacies of munitions disposal in Canada by revealing
how the tools of war became integral to the making of postwar
Canada.
