In the years after World War II, America became the world's greatest power. All the People discusses the U.S.A.'s uneasiness with its postwar role as global policeman even as we fought to keep countries across the world from becoming part of the Soviet Union's communist empire. There were
battles at home, too, with the Civil Rights movement and opposition to the Vietnam War. Truman, Stalin, Khrushchev, Ho Chi Minh, Thrugood Marshall, JFK, LBJ, Malcolm X, Cesar Chavez, Bill Clinton--even the Beatles--star in this exciting final chapter of A History of US.

During the long freeze of the Cold War, hot wars explode. Overseas, Americans fight in Korea and Vietnam, while at home, African-Americans take to the streets and the courts to demand their civil rights. Take a new look as Harry Truman and Joe McCarthy, LBJ and JFK, Ike and Thurgood Marshall, Elvis Presley and Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks and Malcolm X, Cesar Chavez and Ronald Reagan-and two guys named Bill (Clinton and Gates). Does our land of promise have the will to become, at long last, a nation for all the people?
