Description
Product Description
This is an important new history of decision-making and
policy-making in the British Admiralty from Trafalgar to
the aftermath of Jutland. C. I. Hamilton explores the
role of technological change, the global balance of
power and, in particular, of finance and the First World
War in shaping decision-making and organisational
development within the Admiralty. He shows that
decision-making was found not so much in the hands of
the Board but at first largely in the hands of individuals,
then groups or committees, and finally certain
permanent bureaucracies. The latter bodies, such as the
Naval Staff, were crucial to the development of policy-
making as was the civil service Secretariat under the
Permanent Secretary. By the 1920s the Admiralty had
become not just a proper policy-making organisation,
but for the first time a thoroughly civil-military one.

Review
'… a contribution to the wider field of institutional
history … both succinct and absorbing.' David McLean,
