Warming Up to the Cold War

More about the book

Focusing on Canadian responses to early Cold War crises, this study explores how events like the Gouzenko affair, nuclear escalation, and the Korean War influenced public sentiment. Robert Teigrob compellingly argues that these experiences pushed the Canadian government towards closer ties with the United States. His revisionist insights emphasize the active role of ordinary Canadians during this pivotal era, making the book a significant contribution to understanding postwar Canadian history. The accessible analysis offers a fresh perspective on these historical events.
