Edelgard Mahant teaches in the Department of PoliticalScience at Glendon College, York University. Graeme S.Mount teaches in the Department of History at LaurentianUniversity.
... a meticulously researched account of US policies towards Canada
from 1945 to the 1990s ... This conclusion [i.e. that Canada has
simply been too insignificant for US policy-makers to have formed a
'Canadian policy'] will annoy popular nationalist writers in
Canada... but the scholarship of Mahant and Mount is so painstaking
that their viewpoint will have to be taken seriously... The book
performs a valuable service in subverting some of the easy
conventional thinking that often takes place in Canada on these
matters.
*The International History Review*
... provides a very effective way to gauge policy ... What
impresses the reader is how effectively the authors have used their
sources and the balanced, if unsurprising, conclusions they have
drawn... readers who want the most up-to-date information on
America’s relations with Canada are recommended to start with this
text.
