Washington, DC
Saturday, March 2, 2013

Independent producer George Colburn has created a series of documentary television specials on Dwight D. Eisenhower’s military and political career – a period covering from 1941 to 1961.  His latest project , “Eisenhower’s Secret War," debuts in May on public television stations nation-wide. Hosted by Evan Thomas -  author of “Ike’s Bluff" - Mr. Colburn’s latest two-part program focuses on Ike’s campaign to wage peace in the aftermath of World War II. We'll air a selection of interviews that Mr. Colburn has conducted over the last two decades with the people closest to Ike during the war years and his presidency. This is a conversation with Mr. Colburn about documenting Ike and the interviews that now comprise “The Eisenhower Legacy Collection.”
