Hitler vs. Stalin

World War II was not only a military conflict. It was also a series of private psychological battles waged by the four great leaders: Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. In these mental duels, the 'warlords' lied, schemed, charmed, flattered and cheated to win. This four-part examination of World War II leadership shows how both Hitler and Stalin were led into enormous delusion; exposes Roosevelt as cautious and suspicious of Churchill; examines the US president's extraordinary attitude towards Stalin; investigates the secret campaign that Churchill waged against Stalin; and reveals how Roosevelt went behind Churchill's back.
