Synopsis: Covering the period 1899 to 1914, this is an account of the decline of the British Empire and the steps taken by many politicians and intellectuals to diagnose their country's situation and formulate a policy of recovery. Shaken by the mishaps of the Second Boer War, then confronting the challenge of the German Reich, powerful groups within British society developed a creed of national efficiency in the hope that a programme might be developed that would restore the nation's lost competitiveness. This reissue includes a new foreword and an introduction in which the author re-examines the theme of national efficiency.
