The first volume of this fascinating personal record charts the return of the conservative Party to office in 1951 and the personalities and politics of the Churchill and Eden governments, culminating in Harold Macmillan's accession to the premiership in portraits of many of the leading European and American figures of the period as well as offering an intimate insight into Anglo-American relations, conflict in the Middle East and the problems of the Cold War.
Packed with acute and often funny observations - describing with ironic amusement the diplomatic confrontations with the Russians and commenting acerbically on the infighting of the Labour Opposition - this is the definitive insider's account of life in the Cabinet.
