5-War and Social Policy by R. M. Titmuss
Professor of Social Administration in the University of London
' To explain the social life of a community in terms of aggression and struggle,' Professor Titmuss observes, ' is to explain only part of " this sorry scheme of things entire".' With that proviso in mind, he considers the way in which modern war has influenced British social policy and, reciprocally, how the direction of social policy has influenced the prosecution of war.
