About this product

Product Information

Great-grandson of a crofter and son-in-law of a Duke, Harold Macmillan (1894-1986) was both complex as a person and influential as a politican. Marked by terrible experiences in the trenches in the First World War and by his work as an MP during the Depression, he was a Tory rebel - an outspoken backbencher, opposing the economic policies of the 1930s and the appeasement policies of his own government. Churchill gave him responsibility during the Second World War with executive command as 'Viceroy of the Mediterranean'. After the War, in opposition, Macmillan was one of the principal reformers of the Conservatives, and after 1951, back in government, served in several important posts before becoming Prime Minister after the Suez Crisis. Supermac examines key events including the controversy over the Cossacks repatriation, the Suez Crisis, You've Never Had It So Good, the Winds of Change, the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Profumo Scandal. The culmination of thirty-five years of research into this period by one of our most respected historians, this book gives an unforgettable portrait of a turbulent age. Shortlisted for the Orwell Prize.

Reviews
"Thorpe is not the first to wrestle [with Macmillan] but Thorpe's account is the most intensively researched and most intimate portrait of all. Supermac has found a Superbiographer." —Literary Review, "Thorpe is not the first to wrestle [with Macmillan] but Thorpe's account is the most intensively researched and most intimate portrait of all. Supermac has found a Superbiographer." --Literary Review, "Splendid and surely definitive biography . . . a superb biographical achievement . . . succinct, frank and insightful." -- Sunday Times, "Wherever Whitehall whispers find eavesdroppers, Thorpe's meticulous details will find readers." Booklist, "Splendid and surely definitive biography . . . a superb biographical achievement . . . succinct, frank and insightful." — Sunday Times, "Wherever Whitehall whispers find eavesdroppers, Thorpe's meticulous details will find readers." - Booklist, "Thorpe is not the first to wrestle [with Macmillan] but Thorpe's account is the most intensively researched and most intimate portrait of all. Supermac has found a Superbiographer." --Literary Review, "Splendid and surely definitive biography . . . a superb biographical achievement . . . succinct, frank and insightful." -- Sunday Times, This is how D.R. Thorpe tells the story, eloquently and elegantly, as he does everything in this exemplary biography, which complements if it does not entirely supplant Alistair Horne's two-volume official Life ; Horne is better on the military, Thorpe on the political and personal. At every juncture Thorpe presents the evidence in a scrupulous and equable style, "Wherever Whitehall whispers find eavesdroppers, Thorpe's meticulous details will find readers." -- Booklist
