Canada without armed forces?
by Douglas L. Bland
"What Douglas Bland and his colleagues have done is to look at the future Canadian Forces. Countless studies have pointed to the equipment and personnel shortfalls of the present armed forces, but by careful extrapolation, Bland looks at what is coming down the road. It's not a pretty picture. He argues that the Canadian Forces is already all but incapable of defending Canada or co-operating with the United States in the defence of North America. In five or ten years, when the equipment has finally rusted out completely and the personnel are not there, what then?" "Bland urges that a defence review get under way at once, but not a review with the usual broad, sweeping mandate to examine the whole world and produce general and generic compromise policy suggestions."--BOOK JACKET.
