How Britain's Economic, Political, and Military Weakness Forced Canada into the Arms of the United States: The 1988 Joanne Goodman Lectures

by J.L. Granatstein

In these lively, timely, and contentious essays J.L. Granatstein takes on one of the 'hoary central myths' of Canadian history and historiography: that the Liberals sold out Canada to the United States. It is a myth, he claims, perpetuated by Conservative historians such as David Creighton and George Grant, and by socialists like James Laxer. The original villain of this long-running melodrama is not the Liberals, the author maintains, but Britain.
