We, as Canadians, have continued to define ourselves by reference to what we are not - American - rather than in terms of our own national history and tradition.

The text begins by examining a series of wargames developed for the military and

Blitzkrieg tactics required the concentration of offensive weapons (such as tanks, planes, and artillery) along a narrow front. These forces would drive a breach in enemy defenses, permitting armored tank divisions to penetrate rapidly and roam freely behind enemy lines, causing shock and disorganization among the enemy defenses.
