Statesman, pre-eminent leader and founder of the free world's then
largest and most formidable trade union, Ernest Bevin was one of
the most rousing figures of the twentieth century. Minister of
Labour in the wartime coalition during the Second World War, he was
Churchill's right-hand man, masterminding the home front while the
war supremo commanded the battle front. Afterwards, he was Foreign
Secretary at one of the most critical moments in international
history, responsible for keeping Stalin and communism out of
Western Europe, and for creating West Germany, NATO and the
transatlantic alliance, all of which underpin European democracy
and security to this day. An orphan farm boy from Bristol, Bevin's
astonishing rise to fame and power is unmatched by any leader to
this day. In this discerning and wide-ranging biography, Andrew
Adonis examines how 'the working-class John Bull' grew to a
position of such authority, and offers a critical reassessment of
his life and influence. Finally exploring Bevin's powerful legacy
and lessons for our own age, Adonis restores this charismatic
statesman to his rightful place among the pantheon of Britain's
greatest political leaders.
