War Plan Red: The United States' Secret Plan To Invade Canada And Canada's Secret Plan To Invade The United States
It's known as the world's friendliest border. Five thousand miles of unfenced, unwalled international coexistence and a symbol of neighborly goodwill between two great nations: the United States and Canada. But just how friendly is it really? In War Plan Red, the secret "cold war" between the United States and Canada is revealed in full and humorous detail.With colorful maps and historical imagery, the breezy text walks the reader through every aspect of the long-simmering rivalry—from the "Pork and Beans War" between Maine and Newfoundland lumberjacks, to the "Pig War" of the San Juan Islands, culminating with excerpts from actual declassified invasion plans the Canadian and U.S. militaries drew up in the 1920s and 1930s. A perfect gift for history buffs (and Canadians and Americans alike), War Plan Red offers up a new wrinkle in the ever-evolving history of North American continental relations.

As someone who lives and works in New Jersey, I was pleased to find a book that adds further evidence to what most of us New Jerseyites feel as we travel the world... namely, that if a group of people seem too friendly, there is something fishy going on underneath the surface.War Plan Red exposes once and for all that those eerily pleasant Canadians have all this time been secretly plotting the destruction -- or at least the invasion of the "lower 48".Author Kevin Lippert, while claiming to take Our side, shows a distinctively northernly bias with opinions such as: "with the possible exception of boxed macaroni and cheese, many consider pork and beans to be the United States' greatest contribution to world cuisine." (p.33) Clearly, any author authentically coming from the culture that brought to the world the Twinkie, McNuggets, and The Oreo Cookie would be expected to lift his sights a bit higher. Unless.. unless, Mr. "Lippert" (If that's his real name) is in fact a Canadian citizen, or at least a covert sympathiser. Luckily, we have the NSA, and I'm sure our authorities have "Kevin" fully in their electronic sights.Speaking of patriotism, a real American would also find it dishonorable to juxtapose President Barack Obama's 2012 denial of any "plan to invade Canada" as well as US General Martin Dempsy's (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) in 2014, on a timeline following "Appendix A", a recently declassified plan for the invasion, which concludes after examining multiple land, air and sea options, that the best attack route would be "by joint operations by sea from Boston." (p.123).
