Reviews

“The present volume, written by Sir Frank Newsam, permanent under-secretary of state for the Home Department, is of a quality to give promise of high value for the entire series. It not only describes the extensive functions allocated to this department, and the organizational means used to effect them, but discusses their consequences within the framework of the whole governmental process. The result is no dull cataloguing of offices and legal authorizations, but a lively and readable treatment of an administrative organ in action, its problems, achievements, and difficulties.” -Political Research Quarterly, No. 8-2, June 1955
