Sulfa’s True Significance

Abstract

On 11 December 1943, Winston Churchill flew from Cairo in Egypt to the north African city of Tunis to spend a few days with Dwight D. Einsenhower at his “White House,” near the ruins of Carthage. The British Prime Minister had already completed a complex series of meetings, conferring with the Chinese general Chiang Kai-shek in Cairo and with Franklin Roosevelt and the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin in Teheran. Their agenda was an evolving plan for the D-Day landings to regain France from the Germans.
