The Visionaries: Planning For Peace (Part 5)

Why is the Bretton Woods conference so important to today's economies? How did the US dollar become the global currency, replacing the British pound sterling? What was the American contribution to D-Day on June 6th 1944?

Join Al Murray and James Holland for part 5 of their most ambitious series yet; a definitive survey of the 20th Century and how the First World War and economic instability of the 20s and 30s caused World War Two, and how the political vision of US Presidents like Roosevelt and Truman strengthened Western Democracies for the Cold War with the USSR.
