About This Item
London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1937. Early printing of Vice-Admiral Gordon Campbell's My Mystery Ships; from the library of United Kingdom Prime Minster Clement Attlee with his bookplate to the pastedown. Octavo, original cloth. In very good condition. British politician Clement Attlee served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1945 to 1951 and Leader of the Labour Party from 1935 to 1955. He was Deputy Prime Minister during the wartime coalition government under Winston Churchill, and served twice as Leader of the Opposition from 1935 to 1940 and from 1951 to 1955. He is often ranked as one of the greatest British prime ministers. Attlee's reputation among scholars has grown, thanks to his creation of the modern welfare state, and the establishment of the NHS. He is also commended for continuing the special relationship with the US and active involvement in NATO. As of 2022, Attlee remains the longest serving Leader of the Labour Party.
