FDR and Churchill Meet at Casablanca: Planning the End of Hitler
Two world leaders. One desperate moment in a global war. Roosevelt arrived in a secret, heavily guarded naval convoy, crossing submarine-infested waters to meet Churchill in Morocco's sun-bleached Anfa Hotel. They'd spend ten days plotting the Axis powers' defeat, with Allied military planners cramming rooms and smoking through strategic maps. The conference's boldest decision: unconditional surrender would be the only acceptable outcome from Germany and Japan. No negotiation. No compromise.
