Publishers Description: Clement Attlee was the Labour prime minister who presided over Britains radical postwar government, delivering the end of the Empire in India, the foundation of the NHS and Britains place in NATO. Called a sheep in sheeps clothing, his reputation has long been that of an unassuming character in the shadow of Churchill. But as John Bews revelatory biography shows, Attlee was not only a hero of his age, but an emblem of it; and his life tells the story of how Britain changed over the twentieth century.Here, Bew pierces Attlees reticence to examine the intellect and beliefs of Britains greatest - and least appreciated - peacetime prime minister.
