Dimitry Anastakis. Auto Pact: Creating a Borderless North American Auto Industry, 1960–1971. Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2005. Pp. 318. Bibliography. Illustrations. Index. Tables. Cloth, $55.00; paper, $29.95.

Although many eagerly debate the pros and cons of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), few give any attention to the trade pacts that preceded it. Automobile enthusiasts are aware that prior to the mid-1960s the "Big Three" automobile manufacturers, General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler, produced and sold certain models only in Canada, but few know why and how the practice ended. Even automotive historians aware of the "Auto Pact," as the 1965 Canada-U.S. Automotive Products Trade Agreement is known, have little insight into how it came about. Dimitry Anastakis has examined this landmark precursor to NAFTA and chronicled its conception, negotiation, and effects, adding to our understanding of the auto industry and international commerce.
