About
Clement Attlee is to this day remembered, as “a sheep in sheep's clothing”, after Churchill's now infamous comment.
But, As It Happened tells a different and more complex story of a decent, great man, who was often misunderstood.
This autobiography takes the reader on a journey through Attlee's life - and through one of the most epochal and uncertain periods in British history.
Attlee documents growing up to see the death of Victorian England, and the end of an era marked by the First World War. He recalls his war service and dedication to his beloved country. He reveals his unique perspective of Britain in the interwar years and how the country began to yearn for change.
