**WINNER OF THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING** **WINNER OF
THE ELIZABETH LONGFORD PRIZE FOR HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY** *Book of
the year: The Times, Sunday Times, New Statesman, Spectator,
Evening Standard* 'Outstanding . . . We still live in the society
that was shaped by Clement Attlee' Robert Harris, Sunday Times 'The
best book in the field of British politics' Philip Collins, The
Times 'Easily the best single-volume, cradle-to-grave life of
Clement Attlee yet written' Andrew Roberts Clement Attlee was the
Labour prime minister who presided over Britain's radical postwar
government, delivering the end of the Empire in India, the
foundation of the NHS and Britain's place in NATO. Called 'a sheep
in sheep's clothing', his reputation has long been that of an
unassuming character in the shadow of Churchill. But as John Bew's
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 Attlee's
reticence to examine the intellect and beliefs of Britain's
greatest - and least appreciated - peacetime prime minister. This
edition includes a new preface by the author in response to the
2017 general election.
