The author argues that since the Second World War Canada has assumed that potential threats will come from overseas rather than from within its borders. Security and Defence in the Terrorist Era shows that Canada's safety depends upon paying equal attention to threats at home and insists that we must consider the effect of climate change on the Arctic as seriously as terrorist threats and ballistic missile defence. Covering a range of pertinent subjects with detail and expertise, this new edition provides timely information and prescriptions for keeping North America safe.

Industry Reviews

"Sloan demonstrates a firm grasp of technological, command, and control issues, rightly pointing out the necessarily different approach that Canada needs to take from the US." Joel Sokolsky, Royal Military College of Canada "Elinor Sloan has provided an excellent review of the implications of 9/11 for Canada's national security strategy. Her recognition of the importance of a continental approach to defence and security is timely, and should inform a debate that must engage Canadians. More importantly, she has recognized and persuasively argued that the safety and well-being of Canadian citizens are directly linked to international peace and security. This is a must-read for Canadians who want to shape a meaningful and influential role for Canada in the world." The Honorable John Manley, P.C., Senior Counsel McCarthy Tetrault LLP and former Deputy Prime Minister of Canada
