Summary note
Canada emerged from the Second World War as a hydro-electric superpower. Only the United States generated more hydro power than Canada, and only Norway generated more per capita. Allied Power is about how this came to be: the mobilization of Canadian hydro-electricity during the war and the impact of that wartime expansion on Canada's power systems, rivers, and politics.
