| Summary: | The title of this manuscript might astonish readers, but it will certainly not mislead them, for this is indeed a serious and involved magnum opus of considerable length on a topic of considerable complexity. It was painstakingly researched and carefully written by Gordon W. Smith over a period of about thirty years. Recognizing the value of what was largely this man’s life’s work, his executors have undertaken to realize the dream that was behind the manuscript, namely, to enable its availability for the beneWt of all Canadians, particularly those interested in history and international law as these subjects pertain to the Arctic. The original handwritten manuscript, which numbers several thousand pages of text, has been preserved in accordance with archival standards. The content has been reproduced in electronic format on CD ROM and amounts to over two million words. The executors hope to release this valuable and important piece of work for publication. |
