In host Gwynne Dyer's words, this film is "an inquiry into how we fell into our present defense policy ... and whether the choices we made were really wise." We are given an opportunity to explore such issues as the purpose of NATO, the role of the United Nations, and Canada's role as a peacemaker. Part two of the series.
