About this work

Description

"'Fittest of the fit' was the Royal Navy's boast about its sailors; and the healthy and sun-tanned men depicted in the recruitment posters of the 1930s, as well as the wholesome and resourceful images portrayed in popular films, reinforced the boast. This book examines that basic assumption and many of the issues that followed from it."--From publisher.
