Reviews
Galen Perras, author of Stepping Stones to Nowhere: The Aleutian Islands, Alaska, and American Military Strategy, 1867-1945:
This book deftly fills a key gap in Canadian military historiography. Addressing not only the geopolitical rationale for the unit’s placement in Germany after 1950, Campbell also offers a convincing analysis of the brigade’s hitherto neglected social aspects, both its internal workings and the vital, sometimes strained relationship with the local German population.

Robert Bothwell, author of Alliance and Illusion: Canada and the World, 1945-84:
Unlikely Diplomats is the best book published on postwar Canadian defence since Jon B. McLin’s classic of 1967. It advances very considerably what we know about Canada’s European garrison from 1951 to 1964. Campbell covers such items as the nuclear arming of Canada’s NATO troops and assesses where, exactly, the brigade fit into NATO’s strategy. I am amazed at what she has covered in Canada, the UK, and the US.
