It’s known as the world’s friendliest border. Five thousand miles of unfenced, unwalled international coexistence and a symbol of neighborly goodwill between the United States and Canada. But just how friendly is it really?
In War Plan Red, Kevin Lippert discusses the secret “cold war” between the United States and Canada in full and humorous detail and culminating with actual declassified invasion plans that Canadian and U.S. militaries drew up in the 1920s and 1930s.
