The Improbable Mr. Attlee

Overview

After World War II, the British public voted a Labour Government into power on the promise of sweeping social reforms. Led by the modest and unremarkable Clement Attlee, the victory was a surprise to almost everyone as it was general wisdom that the Tory party would return but with a reduced majority. Prof David Reynolds tells the story of Labour's postwar government and examines the achievements of Clement Attlee , including the introduction of the NHS in Britain.
