American History Tellers: "The Cold War" and "Prohibition"

by Audra Wolfe, Christine Sismondo, Lindsay Graham (Reading)

Every part of your life--the words you speak, the ideas you share--can be traced to our history, but how well do you really know the stories that made America? We'll take you to the events, the times, and the people that shaped our nation. First, we travel back to the story that loomed over twentieth-century America more than any other: the Cold War. How do you fight a war with just ideas? Then, we'll go back a little further, to the only time a constitutional amendment has been repealed: Prohibition. By outlawing alcohol, America saw a rise in crime, sin, vice, and, ironically, alcohol consumption.

Entertaining listen to history. Since my degree is in science, not the humanities, I haven’t taken many history courses and this was a way to catch up on something I missed. But, since I am 75 years old and I have lived through much of what I listen to, it seem to be a little different than I remember. I don’t know about the early American history, but the modern history,is told from m a distinctly liberal point of view. This I sn’t exactly, A patriotic kind of read. I am more hopeful for our country, than the authors were.
