内容説明

UK defence has been a major political issue since 1946. Successive governments have frequently changed the central defence organization in attempts to improve decision-taking and to streamline the ministries. Have the changes worked? Are technological and industrial problems better handled? Are relationships between ministers and the Heads of the Armed Forces properly balanced? This book provides a view of how a vital part of government has evolved over this critical period.
