Macmillan was born in Brixton. His grandfather was a Scottish crofter who founded Macmillan Publishers. He was educated at Eton and at Balliol College, Oxford. He served with distinction in WW I, being wounded on three occasions. He married Lady Dorothy, daughter of Victor Cavendish, 9th Duke of Devonshire. Elected to the House of Commons in 1924 for Stockton-on-Tees, he lost his seat in 1929 only to return in 1931. In the 1930s he was stuck on the backbenches, his leftish ideas and sharp criticism of Stanley Baldwin and Neville Chamberlain serving to isolate him. In World War II he was part of the wartime coalition government; he worked with the Ministry of Supply before being sent to North Africa in 1942 as British government representative to the Allies in the Mediterranean.
