184 pages including index. "At the time when I undertook to write this book, the defence policies of Canada were a matter of greater public interest than perhaps at any previous period in time of peace since the Dominion came into existence in 1867. Today, with the country involved in a new Great War and that war in a critical stage, they command still more attention. This volume is presented as a possible contribution to public information and discussion on the subject... Intended to provide an outline of the history of Canadian defence policy, with emphasis upon the most recent period." - from Author's Preface. Chapters include: Geography and Canadian Security; The Military Institutions of an Unmilitary People - Canadian Defence Policy to 1914; The Great War and After 1914-1935; The New Defence Policy 1935-1939; The Second World War.
