Alistair Cooke's Emmy-winning history of the U.S. from Colonial days to the 1970s, filmed on location, offers a panoramic yet personal look at the birth and growth of America. The series was also known as 'Alistair Cooke's America.'

British native, but long-term American resident Alistair Cooke hosted this long-running documentary on the development of the United States. Starting through the colonial periods, through the revolutionary war and pioneer expansionist eras, into the global conflicts and economic domination of the twentieth century, and ending with the social upheavals and counter-culture revolutions of the 1960's and 70's.—Jean-Marc Rocher <[email protected]>
