Chosen as a Book of the Year in the Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail
'A masterpiece' Frederick Forsyth 'Beautifully written... unlikely
to be surpassed' Simon Heffer 'Superb' Daily Mail, Book of the Week
'Terrific' Observer Throughout history there have been many
long-running rivalries between party leaders, but there has never
been a connection like that between Clement Attlee and Winston
Churchill, who were leaders of their respective parties for a total
of thirty-five years. Brought together in the epoch-making
circumstances of the Second World War, they forged a partnership
that transcended party lines, before going on to face each other in
two of Britain's most important and influential general elections.
Based on extensive research and archival material, Attlee and
Churchill provides a host of new insights into their remarkable
relationship. From the bizarre coincidence that they shared a
governess, to their explosive wartime clashes over domestic policy
and reconstruction; and from Britain's post-war nuclear weapons
programme, which Attlee kept hidden from Churchill and his own
Labour Party, to the private correspondence between the two men in
later life, which demonstrates their friendliness despite all the
political antagonism, Leo McKinstry tells the intertwined story of
these two political titans as never before. In a gripping narrative
McKinstry not only provides a fresh perspective on two of the most
compelling leaders of the mid-twentieth century but also
brilliantly brings to life this vibrant, traumatic and inspiring
era of modern British history.
