… this is a book that matters, and it should be read widely. - Galen Roger Perras, University of Ottawa (Canadian Historical Review) …by stressing the evolution of Canadian Army strategic thinking and institutional development as well as what the Canadian Army did to be successful on the new conventional-nuclear battlefield during the first two decades of the Cold War, In Peace Prepared is a major addition to Canadian historiography. Written in a clear and compelling style, this work will appeal to academics and professional military personnel who wish to learn how big and complex is the task to plan, establish, build and manage a modern professional army.- Caroline D'Amours, Royal Military College of Canada (Canadian Military History)
