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.Defense and discoveryAstronautics, MilitaryCanadaHistoryOuter spaceExplorationCanadaHistoryCanadaHistory, Military20th centuryAstronautics, MilitaryHistory.623/.690971Godefroy Andrew B.1972-825037MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810245503321Defence and discovery4062543UNINA
