Product Description:

Oscar-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone continues to examine the world events that led us to where we are today in this part two of this three-part documentary series. In "Chapter 4: The Cold War," we take a month-by-month look at the events that led the entire world to the edge of oblivion, and in "Chapter 5: The '50s: Eisenhower, the Bomb & the Third World" we see Harry S. Truman replaced by Dwight D. Eisenhower and John Foster Dulles before exploring how the death of Joseph Stalin led to a chilling of relations between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, the emergence of the H-Bomb, the Korean War, and the parallels between McCarthyism and the destructive effects of U.S. policy on the Third World. "Chapter 6: JFK: To the Brink" probes the Bay of Pigs and the terror of the Cuban Missile Crisis, as well as the early shots of the Vietnam War, John F. Kennedy's peace-making efforts with Nikita Krushchev, and the global reaction to Kenedy's assassination. This section of the series closes with "Chapter 7: Johnson, Nixon and Vietnam: Reversal of Fortune," which highlights the growing controversy over the Vietnam War and Richard Nixon's resignation.
