The Visionaries: Total Defence (Part 3)

27. april 2026 · 1h 1m

Why was the Fall of France in 1940 such a surprise? How did FDR get the USA ready to fight in WW2? What did Churchill do to encourage American entry on the side of the Allies?

Join Al Murray and James Holland for part 3 of their most ambitious series yet; a definitive survey of the 20th Century, how the First World War and economic instability of the 20s and 30s caused World War Two, and how the political vision of US Presidents like Roosevelt and Truman strengthened Western Democracies for the Cold War with the USSR.
