The Best James Humes Interview Available: On Eisenhower and Churchill.

HANG ON. Dean Larry introduces Jamie in a very wooden "public access channel" style but once Jamie gets rolling in his Churchill Suit, this video gets fun fast.

In this installment of the Massachusetts School of Law’s “Books of Our Time” Dean Lawrence R. Velvel interviews author James Humes. Humes, a former White House staffer during Eisenhower’s administration, has written a lively and engaging portrait of the relationship between Eisenhower and Churchill during the Second World War. Churchill was a professional politician and an amateur strategist while Eisenhower was a professional strategist and a professional politician. Humes explores Eisenhower’s tremendous ability to work with different personalities, forge common ground and get the job done. Churchill, who initially viewed Eisenhower as under qualified, came to posses an extraordinary faith in the General. The work tracks the genesis of their relationship from Operation Torch in North Africa, to Sicily and Italy and to D-Day and the Northern European land campaign of 1944-45.
