Description
This book is a study of the connections between Britain's foreign, financial and military policies during the 1980s, demonstrating that these issues were closely related because Britain needed to draw a balance between the military forces, which seemed necessary to support its strategic aims, with that strength which it seemed able to afford. The author shows that the so-called ten year rule and Treasury control over the fighting services did not begin sufficiently to affect British strategic policy until 1925. He argues that between 1919-1926, Britain did not follow a single strategic policy, but instead many different ones, and that they were not formulated in a static fashion but rather in a dynamic one. The book calls for a radical reaasessment of the perceptions of this critical period. John Robert Ferris has published many articles on aspects of British strategic policy during the 1920s and on British signals intelligence 1898-1946.
