Ade’s Reviews > Citizen Clem: A Biography of Attlee > Status Update

Picked up speed quite suddenly with the descent into WW2 and Labour's defenestration of Chamberlain in favour of Churchill as PM. One can see why Attlee was proudest of taking his party into coalition government at a time of national need.

Only just started - couldn't resist dipping in and was then hooked. Hugely readable, addictive and meaty on the detail without getting bogged down. Lots of interesting snippets about late Victorian England and the Empire. Looking forward to the rest.
