In the years after WWII, America became the worlds greatest power.

There were battles at home, too. With the civil rights movement and opposition to the Vietnam War, Truman, Stalin, Khrushchev, Ho Chi Minh, Thurgood Marshall, JFK, LBJ, Malcom X, Cesar Chavez, Bill Clinton-even the Beatles star in this exciting final chapter in a History of US.
