Sobre IBD

May 1945. Britain celebrates victory and cheers Winston Churchill.The people who fought the war want a better, fairer world, and only Labour is offering it.But the Labour Party is led by a nonentity --'a modest little man with plenty to be modest about.' He says almost nothing. He sits in his grey suit and puffs his pipe.One wit remarked: 'An empty taxi drew up and Clement Attlee got out.'How can the insignificant, passionless little Labour leader Clem Attlee possibly compete with Churchill, and bring in a social revolution?
