In this 1946 article Vice-Admiral Ross T. McIntire, Roosevelt’s personal physician, reminisced about Roosevelt’s illness:
“In the summer of 1942, the long, dragging weeks of getting ready for the invasion of North Africa put a heavy additional strain on the President, and worse still were the anxious hours when he waited for news of the landings… As summer gave way to fall, and arrangements were completed for the Big Three conference at Tehran, my one insistence was on a more leisurely manner of travel. I knew that the travel to Tehran would be more arduous than the Casablanca trip.”
