This book offers a detailed account of the life and career of
William Armstrong, the most influential civil servant in Britain in
the 1960s and 1970s, and one of the most powerful and significant
Whitehall officials in the post-1945 period. He was at the centre
of the British government policy-making machine for over 30 years -
the very incarnation of the 'permanent government' of the country.
He was the indispensable figure at the right hand of successive
Chancellors of the Exchequer, and a reforming Head of the Civil
Service. His role and power was such that he was controversially
dubbed 'deputy prime minister' under Edward Heath. The book also
casts light on wider institutional, political and historical issues
around the working and reform of the civil service and the
government machine, the policy-making process, and the experience
in office of Labour and Conservative governments from the 1940s to
the 1970s. ;;;;;;;;;;;
