| Summary |
Examines the impact of a group of progressive Ottawa administrators on government policy in the NWT and Yukon in the 1940s in response to increased American presence there during and after World War II. Shows how, in a little more than a decade, Ottawa shifted from a laissez-faire approach to northern affairs to the adoption of an active interventionist policy accompanied by unprecedented increases in financial support |
