EVENT DETAILS
General Dwight D. Eisenhower seemed an unlikely candidate to be the Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe in 1944–45 since he had never commanded troops in combat, but he proved adept at delivering the strategy that won the war in the West. How he did is examined by acclaimed historian Andrew Roberts.
Andrew Roberts, visiting professor in the War Studies Department at King’s College, London, is the author of Masters and Commanders: How Four Titans Won the War in the West, 1941–1945.
