How did a Conservative Prime Minister and the leader of the Labour Party come together to steer Britain to victory in the Second World War? Winston Churchill and Clement Attlee enjoyed an unusual, even unique relationship - fierce parliamentry ruivals but also trusted colleagues in the same wartime Cabinet. Despite major political differences, the two men shared much in common. Bother were ambitious social reformers eager to drag Britain out of the dark days of mass unemployment and poverty. They were also unuted by a deep love of the English language. Churchill has long been lauded as a master f prise, but what is less well known is that Attlee was an admirable poet.
