Description
The cover of "Spy Wars: Espionage and Canada from Gouzenko to Glasnost" by J. L. Granatstein and David Stafford. The cover is mostly blue, and prominently features an image of the Canadian flag with the maple leaf replaced by a circular photograph of a closeup of a man holding a camera up to his eye. A review at the top of the cover by "The Globe and Mail" reads, "A path-breaking popular history... deftly written." The price of the book on its spine reads "$7.50".
The synopsis of the book reads as follows, "Fact as fascinating as fiction, this book delivers a briskly paced survey of Canada's secret history. To most Canadians, the world of espionage may seem a far off sort of affair, a great game played in often exotic locales by stealthy figures. But, as this pathbreaking book makes clear, Canada has been the site of considerable international intrigue, from Cold War skullduggery to high-tech terrorism. The authors argue that while the Cold War may be over, the spy wars will continue, & Canada will remain enmeshed in a world of saboteurs & counter-terrorists, spies & spycatchers."
