This book explains how and why Canada was able to play in the big leagues of military technology, particularly in the development of radar, RDX explosives, proximity fuses, chemical and biological warfare, and the atomic bomb. It also investigates the evolution of the Canadian national security state, which attempted to protect defence secrets both from the Axis powers and from Canada's wartime ally, the Soviet Union."--Jacket.World War, 1939-1945ScienceCanadaWorld War, 1939-1945TechnologyMilitary researchCanadaHistoryMilitary weaponsCanadaHistoryWorld War, 1939-1945CanadaKanadaswdKanadagndCanadafastLivres numeriques.History.e-books.Electronic books.
