{"product_id":"9781835743546","title":"Landslide : The Story of the 1945 General Election by Robert Garner","description":"In a partly-fictionalised account, this book recounts the dramatic story of the 1945 General Election - an event that, to the surprise of many, saw the decisive defeat of wartime hero Winston Churchill and the election of Britain's first majority Labour government.   Drawing on a rich array of diaries, biographies, and autobiographies, it vividly brings to life the gripping personal and political dramas of key figures such as Churchill, Attlee, Morrison, Wilkinson, and Bevin - stories as compelling as any work of melodramatic fiction.   Innovatively, the book also makes extensive use of the Mass Observation Archive - including diaries, directives, and field reports - to capture the voices of ordinary people who watched the unfolding events with a mixture of awe, anticipation, and apprehension.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369266491765,"sku":"9781835743546","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781835743546.jpg?v=1763552763","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781835743546","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
