General Dwight D Eisenhower and Field-Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery may have been comrades-in-arms but private correspondence reveals a bitter conflict between them.
Ike and Monty - Generals at War is the first of four biographical documentaries investigating the image of five of this century's most powerful figures.

Rather than rely on people's sometimes shaky memories, this programme uses only archive film and documentation (letters, messages, telegrams and speeches) to examine and dramatise the extraordinary relationship between two of the giants of the Second World War. It explores how their personalities influenced their soldiering and, ultimately, the course of the war, while historians reflect that in many ways their lives can be seen as a metaphor for the changing relationship between Britain and the USA. With contributions from Stephen Ambrose, Norman Gelb, Nigel Hamilton and Lord Chalfont.

Other programmes in the series re-evaluate the public images of such diverse characters as Dr Albert Schweitzer who, in 1913, gave up everything to build and run a hospital in the African jungle, the ruthless and wealthy businessman Aristotle Onassis and Lavrenti Beria, Stalin's notorious henchman.
