- Summary:
- This comprehensive volume on war and diplomacy in the Pacific examines Canada's role in Asia in the run up to the Second World War. The volume discusses a wide variety of topics related to Canada's involvement in the region including internal politics, relationships within the allied infrastructure, diplomatic efforts, intelligence gathering and homeland defense strategies. The text highlights the important, but often forgotten, role of Canada in the Pacific War and demonstrates that the nation was able to uphold its responsibilities to its allies while maintaining its political and diplomatic integrity in the region. The work is well notated and includes numerous black and white photographs and a timeline of events. Wilford is an expert in twentieth-century Canadian military history.
