Andrew Adonis: how Ernest Bevin was Labour's Churchill

from The Book Club

In this week's books podcast I'm joined by Alan Johnson and Andrew Adonis to talk about the latter's new biography of a neglected great of British political history: Ernest Bevin: Labour's Churchill. He was, in Andrew's estimation, the man who did most to save Europe from Stalin. So why has Bevin been so forgotten? In what way was he Churchillian? What would he have made of the current state of the Labour party? And will we ever see his like again?Click here to try 12 weeks of the Spectator for £12 and get a free £20 Amazon gift voucher.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
