Rushing to Armageddon: The Shocking Truth About Canada, Missile Defence, and Star Wars

Lily Gontard
Tags

Since the Canadian withdrawal from the North American ballistic missile defence treaty, you might think you don’t need to read Mel Hurtig’s ominously titled Rushing to Armageddon: The Shocking Truth About Canada, Missile Defence, and Star Wars (McClelland & Stewart). Nevertheless, this book reminds us why Canada and Canadians cannot afford to be complacent as America moves to protect itself from terrorists and “rogue states” by putting nuclear weapons into space. What could be more insane?
