Harold Macmillan, 1st Earl of Stockton OM PC FRS (1894-1986) was a British Conservative politician and statesman who served as Prime Minister from 1957-1963. In 1938 Macmillan wrote an argument for Conservatism, entitled ‘The Middle Way, and was branded by many of his party as a ‘neo-socialist’. A firm anti-appeaser before the Second World War, he was a ‘hawk’ over Suez. He succeeded Anthony Eden as Prime Minister in 1957. The Profumo Affair and ill health led to his departure from politics in 1964.
