The
impact of the Cold War and the Nuclear Age upon not only the doctrine and
equipment but also the very composition of the Canadian Army is not well
understood; nor is the role that Canadian Commanders played in proactively
shaping both Canadian as well as influencing NATO doctrine and structure.
Godefroy's book looks at how these men grappled with the transition to an
entirely new form of warfare, their forward thinking and vision as well as the
challenges faced and overcome. Canada's military displayed a remarkable
resiliency and adaptability that has largely been forgotten. The author has
produced a balanced, eminently readable history of this noteworthy
accomplishment.
