Description
Book SynopsisThis book describes and analyzes the transformation of Canada from a peacekeeping to a war-making nation during the Conservative Party's recent decade in power, promoting an anti-war perspective that is indispensable for humanity.
Trade Review"The Lamb and the Tiger presents an interesting and well-presented critique of the Harper Government while appealing for Canada’s return to a major role in international peace efforts. The anthropological assessments and framework effectively contribute to the author’s arguments and offer important concepts and ideas that are useful to anyone advocating for Canada to play a more active role in the international community’s efforts towards world peace. The book is readable for those without an anthropological background, making it a worthy selection for anyone interested in Canadian foreign policy and international peace studies." -- Stewart Kerr *
