A second chance to see this series about four commanders in Europe during World War II, to be followed by three new programmes on commanders behind the Far East war.

This programme follows the development of a man right at the top who was not just 'a nice guy.' The Supreme Commander, with absolute authority over the combined forces of many nations, was a professional soldier and a formidable commander.
He had to contend, as no commander before him in history, with the problem of bringing different nations together in modern warfare. He had to ensure that the combined allied force was not dissipated by nationalistic bickering and jealousy. And he had to take the crucial decision to launch the invasion of Europe in spite of appalling weather.
