In June 1944, the joint forces of the Allies began the liberation of continental Europe on D-Day. But was there tension within the ranks?
Don speaks to Michel Paradis to find out how Eisenhower's leadership helped win the war. How did he deal with the strained relationship between the fading colonial powers of Britain and France, and the rising superpowers, the US and the USSR? How did he police the behaviour of the American troops in Europe? And why did a summit meeting almost end in a fist fight?
Michel is a leading human rights lawyer, historian, and national security law scholar. His book on this topic is 'The Light of Battle: Eisenhower, D-Day, and the Birth of the American Superpower'.
Produced by Sophie Gee. Edited by Max Carrey. Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.
