Eisenhower on D-Day with Michel Paradis | John Batchelor

In "The Light of Battle," Michel Paradis, acclaimed author of "Last Mission to Tokyo," paints a vivid portrait of Dwight Eisenhower as he learns to navigate the crosscurrents of diplomacy, politics, strategy, family, and fame with the fate of the free world hanging in the balance. In a world of giants—Churchill, Roosevelt, De Gaulle, Marshall, MacArthur—it was a barefoot boy from Abilene, Kansas, who would master the art of power and become a modern-day George Washington. John Batchelor is the host of CBS Eye on the World, a hard news-analysis radio program featuring interviews with authors and reporters on a range of topics, from current events and world history to the natural sciences. 00:00 Preview 00:40 George Marshall 05:14 Bernard Baruch 08:08 Eisenhower and Marshall 11:16 Roosevelt's decision 18:02 Kay Summersby 23:03 Norfolk House meeting 27:10 Carl "Tooey" Spaatz 28:17 Operation Anvil and the "Battle of the Numbers" 33:08 Winston Churchill 37:34 Air power 43:06 Charles de Gaulle 48:15 Exercise Tiger 55:04 Montgomery's invasion presentation 57:45 Rommel 58:43 Meteorology and Normandy 01:02:02 King George VI 01:04:31 There is a storm brewing 01:07:31 Logistics of the tides 01:09:05 A gap in the weather 01:12:06 Eisenhower's decision SUBSTACK: https://johnbatchelor.substack.com/ THE LIGHT OF BATTLE by Michel Paradis on Amazon: https://a.co/d/83ILte5 PODCAST LINKS: AUDIOBOOM: https://audioboom.com/channel/johnbat...
