Book Club Edition
"Soldier and scholar, publisher and Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan is one of the most complex and fascinating political figures of modern times. His term as Prime Minister from 1957 to 1963, years of unparalleled prosperity for postwar Britain, was only the culmination of a lifetime of extraordinary service and astonishing accomplishment - here documented in compelling detail by Alistair Horne. Drawing from extensive interviews with Macmillan himself, together with exclusive access to his copious and unpublished diaries, letters, and private papers, Horne reveals for the first time the real Macmillan behind the showman's exterior" [from the dust jacket]
