A series in seven parts about Britain and America.
4: Trust Me to the Bitter End Roosevelt's pledge to Churchill committed
America to a close and generous alliance with Britain. But the two countries had very different ideas of how the world should be when the war was over. 'Increasingly,' says
Sir Ian Jacob , secretary to the British war cabinet, 'they paid no attention to what we said unless it happened to coincide with something they wanted to do.'
Tonight, David Dimbleby charts the changing relationship, not only at the top, but among the ordinary men and women who lived and fought together until Hitler had been defeated. Film editor LIZ TENNENT
