    Show notes

    Roosevelt, Stalin and the Creation of the Grand Alliance Jul 15, 2018
    Show notes

    When Hitler invaded the USSR in June 1941, the changing strategic picture presented Britain and America with opportunities and hazards. A deal with Stalin was in the minds of both Roosevelt and Churchill, but the American public was far more reticent and divided on the issue.

    Defending Afghanistan 1937-1940 Jul 15, 2018
    Show notes

    For a century Afghanistan had been a theatre for the 'great game' of espionage between the British and Russian empires, but on the eve of the Second World War the country was in an unenviable situation. Fearing Soviet aggression and occupation, the Afghans looked to British India for assurances of its security but found few concrete promises.

    Japan's Strategic Failures 1940-41 Jul 09, 2018
    Show notes

    Truman's anti communist policy 1945-47 Jul 09, 2018
    Show notes

    The mid term elections in 1946 were a disaster for the Democratic Party, which faced fraudulent accusations of communist sympathies from their Republican rivals. Both Democrats and Republicans learned that 'red baiting' was a useful tactic and could be weaponised against political enemies.
