A Personal History of the United States written and narrated by Alistair Cooke

In two centuries America has gone from a small nation trusting in a rifle by the fireside to the 'shatterer of worlds'.

"Not only a very clear account of America's military history but an equally clear summary of its interventions against communism since World War 2... The beguiling voice underplays a sober scholarship of text." (Peter Black, Daily Mail)
