Charles Williams

4.9/5 (13723 ratings)

Description:Born under Queen Victoria, wounded in the Great War and the last Prime Minister to wear a moustache, Harold Macmillan often seemed distant and outmoded. Yet he repeatedly overcame adversity, drawing strength from his wife's infamous infidelity to gain political prominence in the Second World War and its aftermath. A shy cuckold became 'the great actor-manager' of British politics.In a premiership bracketed by scandals he memorably, and justifiably, proclaimed that most of the British people had 'never had it so good'.Charles Williams' new biography brings a lively style to an acute and scholarly reappraisal of Macmillan's life. Above all, he argues that the personal anguish over his wife's infidelity was the making of Macmillan as a politician. With an eye to both public and private affairs, Williams pulls no punches in his judgements of Macmillian's political machinations along with his undoubted achievements.This is a detailed and thought-provoking assessment of Macmillan's life and legacy.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
