Reviews

Carvin's book is more than a reminder that the world is not always a friendly place. It is also a plea. It asks that citizens - and, by extension, our elected officials and the security and intelligence services they oversee - take Canada's national security more seriously than we have of late. 'Canada finds itself in the most complex threat environment since the Second World War,' Carvin writes. 'Global leadership appears to be in flux, and the international order that defends the rules and norms under which Canada has prospered are no longer guaranteed.' Her point isn't to scare us but to remind us of our democratic responsibilities. -- Dan Dunsky * <em>Open Canada</em> *
