The Macmillan Diaries: The Cabinet Years 1950 - 1957

The Macmillan Diaries #1

by Harold Macmillan, Peter Catterall (Editor)

From August 1950 until 1966, Harold Macmillan kept one of the fullest and most entertaining political diaries of the 20th century. This first volume starts in the last full year of the post-war Labour government, follows his rise through the Churchill and Eden governments via a succession of high offices, and culminates with his becoming Prime Minister in 1957. Macmillan was an acute observer of events and people, not just in his own country or party but on the wider international and political scene. His diary provides wry portraits of many of the leading political figures of the period and records his personal take on the great issues and events of the day.
