Wilson takes us through the incredible complexities of two countries trying to agree on their mutual defence. Although you would think that in a time of world turmoil, this would be pretty much a simple enough task, it was far from that. NORAD, the North American Air Defence Command—before it was renamed to the more modern North American Aerospace Defense Command—finally materialized as a shining example of co-operation between not only two countries, but all the combinations of governments in power through the past decades.
The book culminates in a detailed story of an exercise that took place on 10 May 1973, called Amalgam Mute. Here we see just how difficult NORAD’s task, defending such a huge expanse, really was.
