From the bizarre coincidence that they shared a governess, to their explosive wartime clashes over domestic policy and reconstruction; and from Britain's post-war nuclear weapons programme, which Attlee kept hidden from Churchill and his own Labour Party, to the private correspondence between the two men in later life, which demonstrates their friendliness despite all the political antagonism, Leo McKinstry tells the intertwined story of these two political titans as never before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a gripping narrative McKinstry not only provides a fresh perspective on two of the most compelling leaders of the mid-twentieth century but also brilliantly brings to life this vibrant, traumatic and inspiring era of modern British history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winstones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":37027754016921,"sku":"9781848876613","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/products\/9781848876613.jpg?v=1604670585","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9781848876613","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
