Canada, Cook says, “often sacrificed its own safety and security to serve on multiple fronts in support of its allies, Britain and the United States, in the common war against the Axis powers.”
Cook depicts the Battle of the Atlantic and the exploits of the First Special Service Force, topics that have recently been addressed in popular histories.
Because of the Second World War, Canada entered the postwar period thoroughly integrated into the American system. Links with Britain were diminished. This was a reorientation of Canada’s place in the world, and Cook shows how it happened.
Although Cook does not cite it, the observation of economic historian H.A. Innis is appropriate: Canada “moved from colony to nation to colony.”
