Defence and Discovery represents the first comprehensive investigation into the origins, development, and impact of Canada's space program from 1945 to 1974. Meticulously researched, it demonstrates the central role of the military in Canada's early space research, illuminating a significant yet understudied period in Canada's growth as a nation.Studies in Canadian military history.Astronautics, MilitaryCanadaHistoryOuter spaceExplorationCanadaHistoryCanadaHistory, Military20th centuryElectronic books.Astronautics, MilitaryHistory.623/.690971Godefroy Andrew B.1972-825037MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456606203321Defence and discovery2200210UNINA
