Harold Macmillan was a major figure in British political history, serving as Minister of Housing and Local Government, Minister of Defence, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and eventually Prime Minister in 1957 after Anthony Eden. In addition to chronologizing the war in the Mediterranean at its critical turning point, these diaries provide a unique perspective on Macmillan's life and times, offering candid reflections on political events, personal observations, interactions with key figures, and his thoughts on various policy issues.
