What was the ultimate cost of World War II? For the Axis peoples, it was defeat, humiliation, and economic ruin. For the Allied peoples, the price was more subtle. They had instituted economic and social policies to pursue the war, and many of these struck to the very heart of liberty. Soon, hostility between two of the Allied powers, America and Russia, would blossom into the Cold War.

The United States at War is a collection of audio presentations that review the political, economic, and social forces that have erupted in military conflict. They describe the historical context for each of the nine major US wars and examine how a military conflict resolved or failed to resolve the forces that caused the war.

      Superb. As a capsule history, this is brilliantly written and exquisitely presented. Like all the programs in the Knowledge Products series, its format uses a narrator supported by well-chosen actors speaking the parts of key historical figures: Churchill, Stalin, Roosevelt, Truman, Chiang Kai Shek and many others. Several hours are devoted to historical background; then the conflict is described in its many theaters, blunders, tragedies and victories. Scott's intense voice drives the presentation so relentlessly that the listener can scarcely wait to hear what happens next. D.W. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
