### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Immensely enjoyable
  

*by A***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2017*

The author John Bew proposes that Attlee was the emblematic Englishman of the 20th century. Bew makes a good case.Anyone who is interested in a good trot through American history of the mid-20th c. will study Harry Truman. For Germany, it is Konrad Adenauer. For France, it is Charles de Gaulle. For Britain, one could do worse than studying the career of the wee Attlee.The Labour administration of 1945-51 is confusing for Americans, not least because we remember Churchill's Vee-sign and then his humiliating defeat in '45. One has heard the names -- Bevan and Bevin, Cripps, Dalton and Morrison -- but Bew brings them into focus as active politicians, jostling one another in the quest for power, even as the British Empire was sinking into the westward sun.Furthermore, Bew is a pleasure to read. Immensely enjoyable.

    A Wonderful Book
  

*by J***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 29, 2020*

a highly interesting read about a modest but giant of a man who worked ceaselessly to improve conditions for the British working class. A highly interesting man, not much discussed today, and what a mistake!I especially enjoyed reading about Attlee’s interpretation of democratic socialism, which was that all citizens had both rights AND obligations, these days you hear a lot about citizens rights, but not much about their obligations. Attlee’ time as prime minister immediately following WWII, is especially interesting with the introduction of national health care and the difficulties with nationalizing certain industries and achieving full employment.Also of note was how fast everything came apart when the Korean War required Britain to invest in the military and social services sacrifices had to be made.Anyone interested in socialism should read this book. I feel better informed about the nuances and pitfalls of this type of government.

    No hesitation in recommending this book. Very readable, on the whole, pretty fair, although perhaps a little long-winded.
  

*by D***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2017*

Attlee's impact on the UK in the 20th century was immense and beneficial. Having secured an extraordinarily unlikely election victory over Churchill after the defeat of Germany in 1945, he introduced the welfare state and initiated the metamorphosis of the British Empire into the British Commonwealth. I doubt that it's possible for a biography to be completely objective. This biographer is clearly a big fan of Attlee and the book is something of a hymn to him. I share the same opinion, but my general preference is to read the opposing point of view. So my four stars, rather than five, for this is not so much a reflection of the quality of the biography as a sense of the author having been preaching to the choir. No hesitation in recommending this book. It's very readable, on the whole, pretty fair, although perhaps a little long-winded.
