		Having served with Admiral of the Fleet Lord Lewin as a midshipman, Prince Philip, the duke of Edinburgh, notes in his foreword that in 1979 Lewin was the last Chief of Defence Staff in the United Kingdom to have served in the Second World War.
		Lewin’s appointments in the Ministry of Defence, dealing with issues at the strategic level, exposed him to the ill-defined world of negotiation and compromise and to the requirement to balance the myriad of interests between politics, the defence industry, the research lobby, academia, and the military itself.
		Notwithstanding the time lapse and slight cultural differences, the frenetic activity and the importance of networking skills and integrity are the same in the Ministry of Defence and the Department of Defense, and the wheels of progress still move quite slowly in both London and Washington.
