Canada and the Early Cold War, 1943 - 1957

Acknowledgements

The conference on Canada and the early Cold War which gave rise to this collection of essays was made possible through the generous support of many individuals. Conference sessions were chaired by the Honourable Michel Dupuy, the late John Halstead,Geoffrey Pearson and JakeWarren.These former members of the foreign service, who played an important role in shaping Canada's Cold War diplomacy, enlivened the academic proceedings with their recollections. For their contribution,I am deeply grateful.

Simon Wade and Gaston Barban, directors of the Communications Programs and Outreach Division , were encouraging and provided strong administrative support. John Hilliker, head of the Department's Historical Section , was the source of many wise and practical suggestions. As always, my colleagues in the Historical Section, Paul Anderson , Christopher Cook , Mary Halloran, and Ted Kelly willingly responded to my immoderate requests for help. I am also grateful to Blair Seaborn (Canadian Institute of International Affairs) and Peter Stockdale (United Nations Association of Canada) for their help, and to Norman Hillmer, who provided advice garnered from a lifetime of editing.
