Description

Clement Attlee's vision for a more just and equitable society continues to inspire politicians today. In "Attlee's Great Contemporaries: The Politics of Character", Frank Field explores how one man's leadership shaped the nation's future. Attlee's firm vision was rooted in his emphasis on character, which he believed was essential for successful politics. This collection of profiles, written by Attlee himself and now gathered together for the first time, offers a unique insight into the intellect and humanity of a 20th-century politician who continues to be studied today. The book includes an introduction by Frank Field, arguing that Attlee's vision was radical in its time, and an epilogue by Professor Peter Hennessy, which provides a full historical perspective on Attlee's legacy.
