Whose War Is It? is a non-fiction book by Jack Granatstein (published J.L. Granatstein), a Canadian historian and military veteran. It critiques several aspects of Canadian politics, foreign policy and national defense, including Canadian involvement in United Nations peacekeeping missions, Canadian national interests, Canada – United States relations, the state of the Canadian Arctic, Quebec pacifism and Canada's policy of multiculturalism. [1]
The book received mainly positive reviews throughout major Canadian newspapers. The Montreal Gazette described the book as "essential reading for anybody interested in Canada's defence and foreign policy." [2] The Calgary Herald described the book as "a short, sharp, reality slap to Canadians who think terrorists would never attack us given half an opportunity." [1] The Globe and Mail asked the question: "Does Canada need a foreign policy? You bet it does, and [Whose War Is It?] tells us why." [1]
The book, however, has been criticized for its oversimplification of issues by Kim Krenz, a journalist at the Canadian Military Journal. [3]
