True North Not Strong and Free reviewed by Peter C Newman
Paul Hellyer argues for a sharp rise in Canada's defence budget to 3.6 percent of GNP and advocates unification of Canada's armed forces. The review finds the book provides solid military analysis but criticizes its uncritical push for integration and predicts limited savings. It notes mixed reception among allies and domestic skepticism about pacifying patriotism as citizenship.
