In a secret, no-holds-barred, ten-day debate in a Moroccan warzone, protected by British Royal Marines and elite American troops, Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Charles de Gaulle, George C. Marshall, Dwight D. Eisenhower, George S. Patton Jr., Sir Alan Brooke, Lord Louis Mountbatten, Sir Harold Alexander, and their military peers questioned each other’s competence, doubted each other’s visions, and argued their way through choices that could win or lose the war. In today's show we discuss this meeting and the ramifications of the decisions made.
