despite
occasional
logical
inconsistencies
(Tennyson
insists,
for
example,
that
economic

never

a
solid,
readable,

might
well
be
recommended
to
students
of
Canadian
history

policy,
of
foreign
policy

of
the

so
ably
an
obvious
gap
in

One
of
the
more
encouraging
developments
in
recent
years
has been
the
re-awakening
of
parliamentary interest
in
Canada's
armed
forces.
This
interest
has
spawned the
Senate
Sub-committee on National
Defence,
the
House
of
Commons
Sub-committee on
Armed
Forces
Reserves,
intriguing
reports
on
the
reserve
forces
and
military
man-
power,
and
a
prodigious amount
of
testimony.
The
most
recent
prod-

is
also
the
most substantive
research
effort
to

the
first
of
three
reports
