Heartland Daily Podcast

Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Michel Paradis, fellow at the Center on National Security and the National Institute for Military Justice and lecture in law at Columbia Law School, to discuss his new book, The Light of Battle: Eisenhower, D-Day, and the Birth of the American Superpower. They chat about how Eisenhower’s rise both reflected and was integral to America’s rise as a global superpower, his unique facility as a teambuilder, and just what exactly was on the line with Operation Overlord.
