Book Synopsis Macmillan, Eisenhower and the Cold War by : Richard Aldous
Book excerpt: "The first prime minister to master the sound bites and photo opportunities of the television age, Macmillan had a penchant for the dramatic and flamboyant. During the Second World War, he had been dazzled by the summits between Churchill and Roosevelt - 'the emperor of the east and the emperor of the west'. Macmillan now set out to walk in their footsteps with President Eisenhower as latter-day emperor. This book follows Macmillan on his Churchillian quest, from the theatrical Moscow 'voyage of discovery', via the U-2 crisis, to the acrimony of the 1960 Paris summit."--Jacket.
