From the con flict-stricken waters of his wartime service in the
Merchant Navy to the restless corridors of power in Whitehall and
the tumult of the Yeltsin years in Russia, Sir Ronald McIntosh has
never been far from the centre of events. As Director General of
the National Economic Development Of fice in the 1970s, he was
intimately concerned with the industrial disputes and in flationary
pressures that brought the British economy to the verge of
collapse, and his memoirs give a compelling account of those days.
Ronnie was born in 1919 and his working life continued until he was
almost eighty. His career in public service, and later in the City
of London and in post-Communist Russia, spanned a turbulent period
of twentieth-century history that has few parallels in the past. As
well as containing engrossing portraits of some of the most signi
fcant figures of the era, Turbulent Times paints a more personal
picture, that of the awakening of lifelong ideals, a long and happy
marriage and a developing interest in Catholicism.A man of great
humanity and commitment to social justice, the memoirs of Ronnie
McIntosh are an invaluable addition to our understanding of the
events that shaped the world in which we now live.
