A character and plot-driven drama shedding new light on famous figures we thought we knew – Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson and Winston Churchill

Re-examines how our world came to be: Leebaert argues against the existing post-WWII narrative that has the British Empire collapsing in the late 1940s and America confidently assuming world leadership, contending that the US upheld the Empire as its ‘outer fortress’ until the British invasion of Egypt in 1956

Contemporary relevance: China has said it’s emulating America’s post-WWII tactics in trying to become today’s global leader – if Beijing and others are studying this period as a playbook for today’s geopolitics, we certainly should, too
