Alec Douglas-Home

Sir Alec Douglas-Home, previously Earl Home, served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1963 to 1964, succeeding Harold Macmillan. In 1964, there was a failed attempt to kidnap him, which was subsequently covered up by the British government. (CM: The Pelage Project)

Later that year, he was succeeded by Harold Wilson as the Labour Party won the general election. General Peters regarded Douglas-Home as ineffectual but believed that he had the right idea about the United Kingdom's place in the world. (CM: State of Emergency)
