Universal, comprehensive health care, equally available to all and
disconnected from income and the ability to pay, was the goal of
the founders of the National Health Service. This book, by one of
the NHS's most eloquent and passionate defenders, tells the story
of how that ideal has been progressively eroded, and how the clock
is being turned back to pre-NHS days, when health care was a
commodity, fully available only to those with money. How this has
come about-to the point where even the shrinking core of free NHS
hospital services is being handed over to private providers at the
taxpayers' expense-is still not widely understood, hidden behind
slogans like "care in the community," "diversity" and "local
ownership." Allyson Pollock demystifies these terms, and in doing
so presents a clear and powerful analysis of the transition from a
comprehensive and universal service to New Labour's "mixed economy
of health care," in which hospitals with foundation status, loosely
supervised by an independent regulator, will be run on largely
market principles. The NHS remains popular, Pollock argues,
precisely because it created the "freedom from fear" that its
founders promised, and because its integrated, non-commercial
character meant low costs and good medical practice. Restoring
these values in today's health service has become an urgent
necessity, and this book will be a key resource for everyone
wishing to to bring this about.
This is one of the classic works on historical analysis of combat
by David Rowland as part of his work in the Ministry of Defence. It
was widely recognised for its pioneering research on combat. The
book starts by summarising development of UK MOD historical
analysis from studies in the 1970s. Then it analyses exercises,
allowed advice to be given on more realistic combat modelling.
Using quantitative Historical Analysis (HA), it was possible to
compare between the levels of effectiveness between simulated and
real combat and to establish combat degradation estimates. The
effects of suppression, surprise and shock, were also quantified.
The result of this research shed new light on infantry combat,
armour v anti-tank weapons and heroism on the battlefield. The
large number of diagrams make the analysis clear and although the
book is based around statistics, no in-depth maths is needed to
understanding the conclusions.
