Description: "Paying particular attention to the decisions to adopt a nuclear-weapons role for Canada's continental air force defence forces, to test the US cruise missile in the Canadian north and to become increasingly involved in active missile- and space-based defence programmes, the author examines: the Cold War construction of Canadian/US military and economic relationships; the effects of these relationships on political decision-making; and the public discourse as a site of alternative understandings of Canada's role in the Cold War."--Jacket.
