One of the most influential statesmen of the 20th century has since been largely forgotten. Why is that? Andrew Adonis joins the Prospect Interview to discuss the life and work of Ernest Bevin, 20th-century trade union leader and former minister of labour and foreign secretary. Bevin, who Adonis calls “Labour’s Churchill,” has much to teach the Labour Party about where it goes today.
