    Author Martin Dugard | Taking London

    Author Martin Dugard | Taking London

    Robert Child chats with NY Times bestselling author Martin Dugard about his latest book, Taking London.

    Great Britain, summer 1940. The Battle of France is over. The Battle of Britain is about to begin. Adolf Hitler’s powerful armies control Europe. England stands alone against this juggernaut, the whole world knowing it is only a matter of time before Nazi Germany unleashes its military might on the island nation. In London, a new prime minister named Winston Churchill is determined to defeat the Nazi menace, no matter the costs.

    Sixth of June | 80th Anniversary of D-Day

    As part of a special 80th Anniversary D-Day commemoration, Point of the Spear showcases an exceptional WWII documentary, which is a thematic and emotional exploration of the D-Day commemorations in Sainte-Mère-Église, France. It is an urgent plea to realize that the boys who stormed the beaches and dropped from the skies in Normandy are now old men who are dying every day. And the time is now to capture their stories before they are forever lost. In this episode film producer, Rylan Soref discusses what went into the making of the film and the reasons behind it.
