Description

A newly elected, pragmatic Labour Prime Minister must unite the party behind his vision of socialism and resolve the European question. It's July 1945 and Clement Atlee arrives in a defeated Germany for the Potsdam conference with Stalin and Truman, facing the unenviable task of succeeding Churchill. But first he encounters this most flamboyant new MP, Tom Driberg, a radical journalist and bon viveur. Can there be a true meeting of minds with Tom distracted by the attraction of a handsome young Russian soldier and Clem occupied by the outbreak of the Cold War and the novels of Dorothy L. Sayers
