Episode 6: A Christmas Like No Other

Imagine Winston Churchill as a houseguest. Then imagine him as a houseguest at Christmas…in the White House…while the world is at war. In late December 1941, three weeks after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the British prime minister and the American president spent days plotting war strategy, made critical military and political decisions and celebrated Christmas at the White House. Nothing quite like it had happened before or has happened since. It was a pivotal moment in the history of World War II.
