A Personal History of the United States, written and narrated by Alistair Cooke
"Cooke at his best and not only that but pictures to match. Rarely can so much have been packed into 50 minutes. And more than that, the film seen as a whole has the compelling sweep of the best documentaries." (Peter Fiddick, The Guardian)
