John Bew (@JohnBew) is a celebrated biographer and historian. His recent book about Labour Prime Minister Clement Attlee won several awards, including the Orwell Prize. He and Aaron (@aaronhughellis) discuss why Attlee is suddenly loved by everyone from Theresa May to Jeremy Corbyn and Andrew Adonis; whether he would have succeeded today; as well as talking about John’s penchant for post-apocalyptic fiction… You can buy ‘Citizen Clem’ here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Citizen-Clem-Biography-Attlee-Winner/dp/178087992X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1520350692&sr=8-1&keywords=citizen+clem ‘Open Country’ is over halfway to our £1000 fundraising goal.
