Attlee by Nick Thomas-Symonds

Attlee by Nick Thomas-Symonds

Clement Attlee has been acclaimed by many as Britains' greatest 20th-century Prime Minister. Yet somehow Attlee the man remains elusive and little known. This biography examines the myths that have arisen around this key figure of British political life and offers a vivid portrait of the man and his politics.

'a thoroughly impressive piece of work - authoritative, reliable and perceptive..This is rightly billed as a "political biography" and in the realm of politics it is remarkably sure-footed.' - Anthony Howard; 'Very interesting and well researched. The reader gets a real sense of Attlee's life and politics, and the portrait of him is well-rounded andnuanced. This biography will be very useful for students seeking to gain a clear understanding of Attlee and marks a useful addition to the canon of Labour history' - Matthew Worley, Lecturer in History, University of Reading

Nicklaus Thomas-Symonds is a lecturer in politics at St Edmund Hall, Oxford, specialising in twentieth-century British government. He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society and a practising barrister.
