Description

Ernest Bevin Labour's Churchill by Andrew Adonis is a major new biography that sheds light on one of Britain's greatest statesmen. Born into poverty, Bevin rose to become founder of the largest trade union and leader in politics, playing a pivotal role in mobilising the nation during World War II. As Minister of Labour and National Service, Bevin drove the domestic war effort, while as post-war Foreign Secretary, he worked tirelessly to stabilise and democratise Europe. This book brings to life the remarkable story of a politician whose impact was second only to Churchill's, yet often overlooked in favour of his more celebrated contemporaries. Through extensive research, Andrew Adonis reveals the complexities and contradictions of Bevin's life, offering a nuanced and engaging portrait of a man who shaped Britain's post-war world.
