Since the mid-1950s, successive Canadian governments have responded
to US ballistic missile defence initiatives with fear and
uncertainty. Officials have endlessly debated the implications - at
home and abroad - of participation. Drawing on previously
classified government documents and interviews with senior
officials, James Fergusson offers the first full account of
Canada's unsure response to US initiatives. He reveals that factors
such as weak leadership and a tendency to place uncertain and
ill-defined notions of international peace and security before
national defence have resulted in indecision. In the end,
policy-makers have failed to transform the ballistic missile
defence issue into an opportunity to define Canada's strategic
interests at home and on the world stage.
