- In this monograph, Seligmann provides a forensic analysis of social policy formulation at a key moment in British history. Based on a large body of new primary archival sources, which were exceptionally difficult to access, Seligmann analyses in considerable depth the interactions between key institutions, e.g. the Treasury, Parliament, and the Admiralty, in shaping social policy within the Royal Navy. Seligmann highlights the role of the Admiralty, led by Churchill, in pressing for reform but experiencing pushback from the Treasury. His critical insight into the politics behind social reform was dependent upon the completion of a lengthy period of investigation.
