- This is the major biography of Attlee, required reading for all interested in 20th-century politics, and described as ‘easily the best single-volume, cradle-to-grave life of Attlee yet written’. Bew provides the first modern assessment of Attlee, showing how a man perceived as so inconsequential, so unradical, could have presided over one of the most radical socio-political reconstructions of the modern era in domestic peacetime. It has also been received as speaking to current political concerns, offering a historical model of radical socialism based on political consensus and pluralism. It has been reviewed nationally and internationally, including in The New Yorker
