Deeply scholarly yet refreshing unacademic in its tone and temper, the text bridges with considerable skill the requirements of rigorous, measured analysis of a wide variety of sources that is inherent in good history... The book deserves to be widely read.' -- Jez Littlewood Literary Review of Canada vol 21:04:2013 'Secret Service provides an excellent overview of how Canada's security service engaged in the political policing of its citizens over the course of Canadian History... It serves as one of the most complete studies ever produced on the topic.' -- Dennis Molinaro Canadian Historical Review, vol 94:01:2013 'This is a must read for anyone interested in intelligence in Canada... It is also a very important study for those interested in how the boundaries of race, class, gender, and difference were coercively enforced by a secret state within the state.' -- Jeremy Buddenhagen BC Studies number 182: summer 2014 'This book, rich in both detail and analysis, is the definitive source on political policing in Canada. It should be of interest to all those interested in Canadian history as well as to specialists in the history of policing and intelligence.' -- Kent Roach Law and History Review, May 2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents   Introduction: Political Policing in Canada    Part I: Origins   Chapter 1:   The Empire Strikes Back\t   Chapter 2:  'You drive us Hindus out of Canada and we will drive every white  man out of India!'\t\t   Chapter 3:  A War on Two Fronts    Part II: Survival and Revival   Chapter 4:   The RCMP, the Communist Party, and the Consolidation  of Canada's Cold War\t   Chapter 5:   'Redder Than Ever': Political Policing During the Great Depression\t       Chapter 6:  Keep the Home Fires Burning, 1939-1945    Part III: Cold War Canada   Chapter 7:  The Ice Age: Mounties on the Cold War Front Line, 1945-1969\t       Chapter 8:  The Coyote, the Roadrunner, and the Reds under the Bed: Communist Espionage and Subversion    Part IV: Separatists, Scandals, and Reform   Chapter 9:  National Unity, National Security: the Quebec Conundrum   Chapter 10:  'I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!':   The Creation of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service   Chapter 11:Old Wine into New Bottles: CSIS, 1984-2001    Part V: After the Twin Towers   Chapter 12:  After the Deluge: In the Shadow of the Twin Towers, 2001-2010\t       Chapter 13:  No More Mr. Nice Spy: CSIS and the Dark Side  of the War on Terror    Conclusion: Policing Canadian Democracy    Endnotes","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405212852567,"sku":"9780802007520","price":65.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780802007520.jpg?v=1730489136","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/secret-service-9780802007520","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
