Heritage

The first two volumes of this outstanding history of Canada''s defence and foreign policy have drawn unanimous acclaim from scholars and critics alike. Richard Preston said of the first volume that is ''opens up a new chapter in Canadian historiography'' and of the second that is ''amply lives up to the promise of the earlier epoch-making book.'' Kenneth McNaught stated: ''There could not be more important reading for anyone trying to apprehend the tenacious traditions underlying our present position in world affairs.'' The third volume has been described in Political Science Quarterly as ''a first class book – learned in content, lucid and witty in style.''
