Clement Attlee: A Modest Little Man

Francis Beckett

May 1945. Britain celebrates victory and cheers Winston Churchill. The people who fought the war want a better, fairer world, and only Labour is offering it. But the Labour Party is led by a nonentity --"a modest little man with plenty to be modest about." He says almost nothing. He sits in his grey suit and puffs his pipe. One wit remarked: "An empty taxi drew up and Clement Attlee got out." How can the insignificant, passionless little Labour leader Clem Attlee possibly compete with Churchill, and bring in a social revolution?
