註釋"Quiet Complicity provides for the first time a comprehensive accounting of the hidden role that the Canadian government played in Vietnam during the period 1945-1975. The result is a story of diplomatic skulduggery, ill-advised economic entanglement, and political duplicity. Through a detailed study of Canada's commercial ties to Southeast Asia, Levant argues convincingly that Canada had a definite and direct economic stake in the U.S. prosecution of the war. He shows how Canada placed its own assets-- including its aid program, its supply of French-speaking public servants, and its international reputation for peace-keeping-- at the service of the U.S. war machine. Based on a wealth of new research including access to government files and cables, Quiet Complicity is sure to become the definitive record of Canada's less than honourable role in the Vietnam War." --
