Who Killed The Canadian Military

THE THREAT OF INTERNATIONAL—and even domestic—terrorism is not disappearing any time soon. It’s clear that our military has a key role to play around the world. So what has happened to Canada’s proud military tradition? demands Granatstein. With out-of-date, unsafe equipment and often ill-prepared personnel, we rank 34th among nations in the provision of UN peacekeeping troops, and the U.S. is seriously re-evaluating our ability to defend our half of North America against terrorism.
    For this sorry state Granatstein blames a series of inefficient governments since the Second World War and a nation that has allowed the military’s deterioration to continue unchecked. With an impassioned argument for a well-trained, well-funded military, and an updated preface to reflect events of the past year, Who Killed the Canadian Military? is already becoming a touchstone book for many Canadians, much like Granatstein’s last bestseller, Who Killed Canadian History?
