Re: What are you reading?

[(Anonymous)]

I am reading Citizen Clem, which is a biography of the British post-war Labour prime minister Clement Attlee. It is... OK? It's pretty thorough, and Clement Attlee is one of my political heroes so I appreciate that. I also acknowledge that Attlee is a difficult subject to write about - he was a famously private and self-effacing man - and I think the author does a good job of getting at his personal side.

However, it does something that a lot of history books do that I don't necessarily like - where it's basically a catalogue of the things that happened in Attlee's life, combined with a bunch of quotes from the primary sources, and nothing more. So it'll be "Such and such a thing happened, and Attlee said this about it in a letter to his brother. Then this other thing happened, and Hugh Dalton told Beatrice Webb this about it". And I find thay unsatisfying - what I really want is something more analytical. Don't just tell us that Attlee was feuding with Herbert Morrison - what were the issues at stake? What does it tell us about each man?

But tbh that's mostly just a pet peeve of mine, it's a really good book on the whole.
