Just Dummies: Cruise Missile Testing in Canada

The Canadian Government’s 1983 decision to allow U.S. cruise missile testing in the high arctic resulted in intense political fallout. The controversial program was kept quiet for as long as possible, but when key secrets were leaked, the powers that be faced harsh criticism from activists, opposition parties, Washington and the Canadian public.

Using recently de-classified documents from the highest levels of government, author John Clearwater guides the reader through the murky waters of this divisive issue and analyzes the Canadian government’s failure to fully disclose its position on a matter of significant public interest despite vocal and organized opposition. Just Dummies: Cruise Missile Testing in Canada considers each aspect of this decades-long struggle, from the military and the political, to the protesters and the public, offering an insider’s view that finally lifts the cloak of secrecy to uncover the real story behind the spin.
