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. In 1940, Attlee took Labour into the wartime coalition government and acted as Deputy Prime Minister. With Churchill concentrating on defeating the Nazis in the battlefield, Attlee yook charge of domestic affairs, effectively ensuring the smooth running of the country.
