As a Canadian 'baby-boomer' born not long after WWII (about the same time as the author), and a former member of the Canadian Armed Forces and the RCMP, I must admit to being somewhat in the dark about Canadian history around the time i was born and just prior to it. I have read a lot of Canadian history, but Ken Cuthbertson's book ( as well as his excellent "Blood on the Coal") opened my eyes to so many facets of recent and relevant Canadian history (military, economics, political, etc.) that I am ashamed to say I was mostly unaware of. I shall certainly re-read (re-listen) to this book again and seek out other Ken Cuthbertson books. As an aside, I was also at Queen's University the same time as Ken, but I do not believe I ever had the pleasure of meeting him. Pity.
