In this presentation Tim Cook will discuss his new book, The Good Allies, a masterful account of how Canadians and Americans made the transition from wary rivals to steadfast allies, and how Canada thrived in the shadow of the military and global superpower. In exploring this complex and crucial dimension of the Second World War and its legacy, Tim recounts two nations’ story of cooperation, of sacrifice, and of bleeding together to save the world from the fascist threat.
