{"product_id":"9781835743546","title":"Landslide : The Story of the 1945 General Election","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookmonger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":55297546420558,"sku":"9781835743546","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/5795\/6174\/files\/9781835743546_2289f8d8-2a56-4a36-91fd-23789ba1f982.jpg?v=1770309043","url":"https:\/\/thebookmongerbearsden.co.uk\/products\/9781835743546","provider":"The Bookmonger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
