Reviews
Why did more than 50,000 American men and women leave their country during the Vietnam War era? How did they adapt to Canada? Donald W. Maxwell explores the arrival of thousands of Americans to Canada and the support that they received in their adopted country. More than an immigration study, Maxwell offers a new perspective on the Vietnam War and its political and social consequences on both societies. This fascinating study is a great read for anyone who wants to learn about this large wave of migrants that happened during the 1960s. --Marcel Martel Professor, Department of History, York University (11/4/2022 12:00:00 AM) Unguarded Border: American Emigres in Canada during the Vietnam War is an intelligent and engaging volume that carefully examines the forces that propelled and impacted American migration to Canada during the course of the Vietnam war. Skillfully steeped in a rich array of primary documentation and secondary source materials, Unguarded Border is an outstanding work of scholarship. --Christopher Kirkey Director, Center for the Study of Canada & Institute on Quebec Studies, SUNY Plattsburgh (11/4/2022 12:00:00 AM)
