This is my only fiction book, and a good example of something I decry when other people do it -- fiction written as propaganda, to make a political point. In this case I don't apologize because I think my point -- that it would make more sense for Canada to maintain an international rescue corps than to maintain conventional armed forces -- is valid. This is a theme I've supported for a long time -- you'll also find the argument in the "Defence" section of We Need to Talk. I wrote this years ago, during the cold war, and had a few copies printed but it was never widely distributed. I include it here because I still think it's a good read, and an idea that makes even more sense now than it did in the cold war.
You might also look at it as a lesson in propaganda, because it doesn't look like propaganda and many people would not recognize it as propaganda but, in this case, you have the author's word that it is.
