Focusing on Canadian-German defence relations from 1955 to 1995, Roy Rempel examines the evolution of Canada's bilateral relationship with Germany in the context of the broader goals and objectives of Canadian foreign policy. He argues that Canadian decision makers have often been ignorant of the important role played by the military in supporting these objectives and that, as a result, Canada's defence policy has often been ad hoc, ill-considered, and badly implemented. Ultimately this has undermined and destroyed the Canadian government's attempts to construct a European political and economic counterweight to the United States.
