Four Chronicle programmes about critical moments in history.
3: The Coming of the Black Ships Written and introduced by Bernard Keeffe
Moving slowly across the windless bay in 1853, Commodore Perry's fleet broke in upon the mysterious and enclosed Empire of Japan. For the Japanese, the coming of those black ships set in motion the extraordinary events which were to lead ultimately to Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima and her present world power.
