The Rest Is History

247. Monty & Patton vs. the Nazis

The Rest Is History

Do commanders matter? Were the British generals effective or "foppish"? How did the Allies rebound from huge losses such as the Battle of Dunkirk to victories like Alamein and D-Day? Tom and Dominic are joined by Al Murray to discuss all this and more, following the release of Al’s new book Command: How the Allies Learned to Win the Second World War.  If you want to buy Al's book, it is available at all good book stores or online.
