The crofter's grandson and the duke's son-in-law, the soldier and the scholar, the publisher and the MP, the bon viveur and the devout high churchman, Harold Macmillan is perhaps the most complex and fascinating political figure of the 20th century. The distinguished historian Alistair Horne had the unique advantage of extensive interviews with Macmillan himself, together with exclusive access to his copious and unpublished diaries, letters and private papers, revealing the real Macmillan behind the showman. Remembered today as 'Supermac', Britain's most urbane and unflappable statesman, responsible for the Tory revival after the Second World War, and the one Minister with the courage to force Churchill to resign. A seminal work of biography and also a notable contribution to the history of our time. PLEASE NOTE - A HEAVY SET OF 2.5 KILO UNPACKED WEIGHT WHICH WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST 21.
