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. 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xScience$zCanada 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xTechnology 606 $aMilitary research$zCanada$xHistory 606 $aMilitary weapons$zCanada$xHistory 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$zCanada 607 $aKanada$2swd 607 $aKanada$2gnd 607 $aCanada$2fast 608 $aLivres numeriques. 608 $aHistory. 608 $ae-books. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xScience 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xTechnology. 615 0$aMilitary research$xHistory. 615 0$aMilitary weapons$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945 676 $a940.548 700 $aAvery$b Donald$f1938-$01467702 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780426103321 996 $aThe science of war$93678480 997 $aUNINA
