These case studies show that mobilization officials achieved only a limited number of their regulatory goals and that Ottawa's attempt to organize and allocate the nation's military and civilian human resources on a rational, orderly, and efficient scale was largely ineffective. This detailed assessment of the effect of NSS activities on a broad cross-section of Canadian society provides a fresh perspective on the domestic impact of the Second World War. It will appeal to a wide range of readers interested in Canada's economic, military, social, and political history. 606 $aIndustrial mobilization$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWorld War, 1939-1945$xManpower$zCanada 606 $aDraft$zCanada 615 0$aIndustrial mobilization$xHistory 615 0$aWorld War, 1939-1945$xManpower 615 0$aDraft 676 $a940.53/71 700 $aStevenson$b Michael D.$f1967-$01485866 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783795303321 996 $aCanada's greatest wartime muddle$93705150 997 $aUNINA
