The Guardsmen - Harold Macmillan, Three Friends, and the World They Made

From the playing fields of Eton via the trenches of the First World War and on to Churchill's government, Harold Macmillan, Lord Salisbury, Oliver Lyttelton and Harry Crookshank were friends, colleagues and sometimes enemies as they argued and fought their way up the political ladder for over forty years. The Guardsmen follows them through some of the pivotal moments of Britain's Twentieth century - the end of the Empire, the beginnings of the Cold War, and the Suez crisis. This brilliant collective biography presents an extraordinary portrait of ruthless political ambition and intrigue in the twentieth century.
