Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you want the hard numbers and actual memos, here they are
Review: Having read the authors first book, revealing the memos etc. surrounding the demise of the Arrow, I thought this book would be worth getting. I was right, to put it mildly. Very interesting summaries of the CF-100, and C-102, with some information that I had not seen before, it is a very good read. Easy to read, and VERY informative. The best portion, in my mind, would be the sections dealing with the cost of the Arrow. The cost break down, detail, and suprising bits of information regarding funding for the armed forces, will lay to rest claims that Canada could just not afford the Arrow. We could have, and should have. This book takes the financial attacks on the Arrow, completely down. GET THIS BOOK. Sorry, I usually don't raise my voice.
