This book is a continuation of Bill Featherstone's research into Civil-Military Relations in Canada during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The topic of Civil-Military Relations has been expanded to chronicle the Canadian experience from 1964 to the present. He introduces the three legs of the Civil-Military Relations triangle: the Military, the Civil/Government and the Public/People. He examines how they each interacted with Canadian defence policy in the form of White Papers and Canadian Armed Forces deployments.

"Bill Featherstone reengages with an important topic from a practitioner's point of view. An important topic in today's contested world."
