Harold
Macinillan
was a figure of paradox.
Outwardly, it was Edwardian elegance and civilised
urbanity. Inwardly, it was emotional damage
trom
his wife s open adultery and his progressive
perplexity at the onward march of time.
The First World War showed the courageous
soldier. From then on, it was politics, rather than
the family business of publishing, which was to
be his future. Nevertheless, although he supported
Churchill in the
1930s
Macmillan was deemed
boring
-
and certainly not ministerial material.
All changed with the Second World War.
Appointed Minister in Residence in North Africa,
Macmillan s career flowered. After the War he
became indispensable to Conservative Cabinets
and as Churchill s Minister of Housing in the
early
1950s
he achieved the target, against
all expectations, of
300,000
houses annually.
Thereatter, he was Eden s Foreign Secretary and
Chancellor but by then Macmillan had become
openly ambitious. Over the Suez affair in
1956
he played a difficult
-
and somewhat devious
-
hand. Eden s resignation left him as the clear
choice of his Cabinet colleagues to become
Prime Minister.
From
1957
to
1962,
Macmillan was a good
-
some would say a great
-
Prime Minister. He
repaired relations with the United States,
announced British decolonisation, steadied the
economy and his party, and won the
1959
General
Election. By
1962,
however, his government was
looking tired. The
Profumo
affair in
1963
was
particularly damaging, and in the autumn of
1963
his health forced him to retire.
Charles Williams is one of our most eminent
biographers. In his timelv new biographv,
he addresses
-
among manv other hitherto
unanswered questions
-
whether it was Harold
Macmillan s personal life that prevented him from
achieving true greatness or whether he became
simplvout of date.
Charles Williams
(
Lord Williams of Elvel) is a
former Deputy Leader ot the Opposition in the
House of Lords and he speaks on financial affairs.
He is the acclaimed biographer of
de
Gaulle,
Adenauer,
Pétain
and Don Bradman.
