Harold MacMillan: Volume 2: 1957-1986

The authorized biography's conclusion spans the time from Macmillan's stint as British prime minister (1957-1963) to his death in 1986. ``Horne makes liberal use of Macmillan's letters and diaries, which shed new light on his premiership years and provide blunt evaluations of world leaders including Khrushchev, de Gaulle, Adenauer and Kennedy,'' reported PW.
