Downing Street Diary

Description

“At Number 10, as in love, proximity is everything – that and the instinct that takes you to the right place at the right time.” Harold Evans was the official spokesman for prime minister Harold Macmillan upon his accession in 1959, remaining at Macmillan’s side during the whole of his seven years in office. This volume of diaries covers the first four years, from 1960 to 1963, which included the ‘Wind of Change’ tour, the pay pause, the loss of Orpington, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Polaris deal at Nassau, the Profumo scandal and the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. This copy is signed by the author and is in very good condition.
