REVIEW: Nye, Olivier (2024)
This Attlee is horrified at Nye’s conflict with the doctors, implores him to stop, calculates the political benefit if Nye were to fail, and withdraws support at a crucial moment. If there was any truth at all in any of this, we would not have the NHS. Nye succeeded because Attlee took the risk of appointing him, to the horror of his senior colleagues, and then backed him to the hilt.
