( ) goliathonline | Jul 7, 2020 | The tone of the book is light, and writing style is casual. My first thought was to give the book a 4-star rating, but it is a bit too short for that. As others have pointed out, it could easily be larger by putting things into context rather better. I can understand how the author might wish to focus on a single topic without getting bogged down in a rather complex topic, but he tends to be a bit too terse. ( ) briangreiner | Sep 16, 2017 | ) BruceCoulson | May 11, 2017 | The stories collected in the first part range from the real battles of the War of 1812, to more symbolic power plays in the contemporary "War on Terror". Unfortunately, the WWII plans that are mentioned in the title are not treated in more detail than the other anecdotes, which is disappointing given the book's title. The stories are written in a light tone, which is fitting to the largely comical aspects of the US-Canada border issues. However, this tone also makes it hard to follow and understand the stories, especially for readers not already familiar with the events.

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? InWar 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.
