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 politician. 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. This book tells his story.

Eden was one of the most fascinating and ultimately tragic British politicians of the 20th century. A man of rigid honour, he resigned as Foreign Secretary in 1938 over the appeasement of Hitler, eventually achieving his desire to be Prime Minister, only to be brought down by the 1956 Suez Crisis.
