This is an adaptation of Peter Jennings' award winning documentaries on the 20th century.  In the second book in the series, we look at the middle years of the century.  During that time, the United States was involved the horror of World War II, the end of the Great Depression, the Cold War, and the stirrings of the Civil Rights movement.  The events are told through the eyes of the people who lived it.  Let your imagination send you on a journey to our nation's past.
SUBJECTS:     History, Modern -- 20th century.
