Tim Bouverie: Allies at War
About this episode
Tim Bouverie discusses his latest book on the history of the alliance that won World War II, touching on key events and themes such as betrayal and public opinion.
Bouverie's first book, Appeasing Hitler, was a tremendous success. His second — a history of the alliance that won the war — is once again fascinating and beautifully written. He spoke to Johnny about the destruction of the French fleet by the British (they had been allies months earlier), the betrayal of Poland, and the significance of public opinion for democracies at war; offensives that would stir a sense of patriotism back home were as important as those which were strategically necessary.
