Often described as 'a sheep in sheep's clothing', Attlee has been perceived as an unassuming figure overshadowed by Churchill. However, this revelatory biography demonstrates that Attlee was not only a hero of his era but also a symbol of it, with his life illustrating the profound transformations within Britain throughout the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Bew examines Attlee's reserved nature to reveal the intellect and principles of Britain's greatest—and perhaps least celebrated—peacetime prime minister. This edition features a new preface by the author addressing the 2017 general election.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46800381706476,"sku":"9781780879925","price":29.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/0435a41685482a38a48efbad25bbf1fd.jpg?v=1757286933","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/citizen-clem-by-john-bew-9781780879925","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
