The Rt Hon Harold Macmillan talks about the latest volume of his autobiography to ROBERT MCKENZIE. It covers' the years 1959-1961: the summit with Eisenhower, Khrushchev, and De Gaulle; the African tour; the first year of Kennedy's presidency; Berlin and the efforts for a nuclear test ban. But it also describes the day-to-day life of a prime minister, at No 10. the House of Commons and Buckingham Palace, as well as Macmillan's own impressions of the world leaders he knew.
