    About this ebook

    It's known as the world's friendliest border. Five thousand miles of unfenced, unwalled international coexistence and a symbol of neighborly goodwill between two great nations: the United States and Canada. But just how friendly is it really? In War Plan Red, the secret "cold war" between the United States and Canada is revealed in full and humorous detail.

    With colorful maps and historical imagery, the breezy text walks the reader through every aspect of the long-simmering rivalry—from the "Pork and Beans War" between Maine and Newfoundland lumberjacks, to the "Pig War" of the San Juan Islands, culminating with excerpts from actual declassified invasion plans the Canadian and U.S. militaries drew up in the 1920s and 1930s. A perfect gift for history buffs (and Canadians and Americans alike), War Plan Red offers up a new wrinkle in the ever-evolving history of North American continental relations.

    • 2/5
      The first half of this fairly short book reviews the history of the border skirmishes between the USA and Canada. The second half contains a facsimile of the World War II era plans for mutual annexation mentioned in the title.The stories collected in the first part range from the real battles of the War of 1812, to more symbolic power plays in the contemporary "War on Terror". Unfortunately, the WWII plans that are mentioned in the title are not treated in more detail than the other anecdotes, which is disappointing given the book's title. The stories are written in a light tone, which is fitting to the largely comical aspects of the US-Canada border issues. However, this tone also makes it hard to follow and understand the stories, especially for readers not already familiar with the events.
    • 3/5
      Brief and mildly amusing history of Canadian-U.S. relations since the Revolution, with details on each countries' plans to invade the other in the 1920s. (The American plan was taken more seriously by U.S. leaders, with a result that's there's more surviving details.) Source material is provided for readers who would like to know more about such conflicts as the Pig War, The Pork'n'Beans War, and of course the more serious fighting that occurred, as well as the military relationships now between the two countries.
    • 3/5
      A real simplistic look at the war history between Canada and the USA. Also the plans between the two nations to invade each other.
