Lewin of Greenwich: The Authorised Biography: Architect of the Post-War Navy Richard Hill
Admiral of Fleet Lord Lewin, although best known as Chief of Defense Staff during the Falklands conflict, is the most important and influential figure in the Royal Navy's postwar history. Written by a recognized expert in British naval affairs who received complete and exclusive access to Lord Lewin's papers, this authorized biography lays open the workings of Whitehall and the defense establishment, and describes Lewin's critical role in determining policy--including the decision to proceed with the Trident and the Falklands War.
