How did a Conservative Prime Minister and the leader of the Labour
Party come together to steer Britain to victory in the Second World
War? Winston Churchill and Clement Attlee enjoyed an unusual, even
unique relationship - fierce parliamentary rivals but also trusted
colleagues in the same wartime Cabinet. Despite major political
differences, the two men shared much in common. Both were ambitious
social reformers eager to drag Britain out of the dark days of mass
unemployment and poverty. They were also united by a deep love of
the English language. Churchill has long been lauded as a master of
prose, but what is less well known is that Attlee was an admirable
poet. In 1940, Attlee took Labour into the wartime coalition
government and acted as Deputy Prime Minister. With Churchill
concentrating on defeating the Nazis on the battlefield, Attlee
took charge of domestic affairs, effectively ensuring the smooth
running of the country. Churchill & Attlee is the fascinating
story of two men whose leadership and comradeship not only changed
the destiny of Britain, but also helped to shape the future of the
world.
