Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt communicated by notice from 1939 to 1945 on a primary and personal basis. Their characters chart the events of the war because they unfold and in addition their efforts to influence and overcome the great tyranny of Nazism. Interspersed throughout are readings from a selection of letters compiled by the men on the front line, charged with carrying out the decisions created by Churchill and Roosevelt. Originally a stage play, this programme is performed by Bob Sherman and Michael Jayston, who performed the original roles on stage with the English Chamber Theater.
