The Macmillan Years, 1957-1963: The Emerging Truth by Richard Lamb

First published in 1995 by John Murray (Publishers) Ltd.

After thirty years since his time, Cabinet papers and other private papers are in the public eye...

Armed with the new disclosed information and hindsight prospective, Richard Lamb takes an in-depth look and asks the question: were the Macmillan years successful overall – or did they do more harm than good for future generations?

Taking on different aspects of Macmillan’s premiership, Lamb carefully puzzles together an accurate and unbiased biography of Macmillan’s political career. From the fraught negotiations of entering the UK to EEC and de Gaulle’s bombshell veto, the special relationship between the US and the UK (covering both Eisenhower and JFK’s presidency), the question of nuclear armaments, the crisis between West and East Berlin, the actions of Khrushchev and the Soviet Union, the problem of the commonwealth and, later, independence for Britain’s former African colonies, to Macmillan’s internal handlings of the Conservative party, the Profumo Scandal and it’s unfortunate consequences.

Richard Lamb is the author of two recent books, The Ghosts of Peace 1935-1945 and The Failure of the Eden Government.
