520    It was a watershed year for Canada and the world. 1945 set
       Canada on a bold course into the future. A huge sense of 
       relief marked the end of hostilities. Yet there was also 
       fear and uncertainty about the perilous new world that was
       unfolding in the wake of the American decision to use the 
       atomic bomb to bring the war in the Pacific to a dramatic 
       halt.  On the eve of WWII, the Dominion of Canada was a 
       sleepy backwater still struggling to escape the despair of
       the Great Depression. But the war changed everything. 
       After six long years of conflict, sacrifice and soul-
       searching, the country emerged onto the world stage as a 
       modern, confident and truly independent nation no longer 
       under the colonial sway of Great Britain.  Ken Cuthbertson
       has written a highly readable narrative that commemorates 
       the 75th anniversary of the end of WWII and chronicles the
       events and personalities of a critical year that reshaped 
       Canada. 1945 showcases the stories of people - some 
       celebrated, some ordinary - who left their mark on the 
       nation and helped create the Canada of today.   The author
       profiles an eclectic group of Canadians, including 
       eccentric prime minister Mackenzie King, iconic hockey 
       superstar Rocket Richard, business tycoon E. P. Taylor, 
       Soviet defector Igor Gouzenko, the bandits of the Polka 
       Dot Gang, crusading MP Agnes Macphail, and authors 
       Gabrielle Roy and Hugh MacLennan, among many others.  The 
       book also covers topics like the Halifax riots, war brides,
       the birth of Canada's beloved social safety net, and the 
       remarkable events that sparked the Cold War. 1945 is the 
       unforgettable story of our nation at the moment of its 
       modern birth.
