America: Empire Of Liberty, Volume 2: Power and Progress Audiobook (Unabridged)

Volume 2 of David Reynolds's major BBC Radio 4 series traces America's story from the Civil War to World War Two.

This epic narrative tells the saga of the United States through the voices of those who lived it - presidents and farmers, mothers and children, settlers and soldiers, immigrants and Native Americans.

This is also the story of how ordinary Americans lived, worked and had fun - with fascinating snapshots of H.J. Heinz, Buffalo Bill, skyscrapers, baseball, the Flappers and Gone with the Wind.

"An excellent up to date general history which does not gloss over the darker side of the country's past. It helps the reader to understand what makes the country tick and the strange sense of insecurity which, to a foreigner seems to indicate an insecurity which the standing of the USA belies."
