Funds were poured into the Canadian Forces, and a newly militarized nation found itself entrenched in conflicts around the globe. For decades, Canada had played a leading role in UN peacekeeping, and when the Cold War ended, the prospect of international harmony was infectious. Yet in short order hostilities erupted in the failed states of Rwanda, Somalia, and the Balkans; terrorism – including 9\/11 – raised its head; and Iraq and Afghanistan became war zones. In the face of these immense challenges, the UN was dismissed by its opponents as irrelevant.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStructured around an anti-war perspective, \u003ci\u003eThe Lamb and the Tiger\u003c\/i\u003e critically examines the ageless genetic and more recent cultural (civilizational) explanations of war, concluding with a close look at the impact of war and right-wing politics on women and Indigenous peoples. \u003ci\u003eThe Lamb and the Tiger\u003c\/i\u003e encourages Canadians to think about what kind of military and what kind of country they really want.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e1 Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart One: Disputed Visions\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e2 Peaceful Kingdom\u003cbr\u003e3 Warrior Nation\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Two: Why War?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e4 Genetic Basis of War\u003cbr\u003e5 Cultural Basis of War\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Three: The Canadian Dream\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e6 Gender, Aboriginals, and Resistance\u003cbr\u003e7 Lamb Power and Tiger Power\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNotes\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52595458670872,"sku":"9781487503413","price":38.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-lamb-and-the-tiger-from-peacekeepers-to-peacewarriors-in-canada-hardback-9781487503413","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
