Legacy of War

Sixty years after covering the aftermath of World War II, Walter Cronkite returns to key European locations to recall dispatches from London as the city launched its massive rebuilding initiative, from Nuremberg as war criminals were held accountable in a gripping criminal trial, and from Berlin as the city became the icon of post war politics. This program details the successful launch and execution of the Marshall Plan—America’s expansive commitment to re-build Europe at the end of the war. Cronkite traces the complex and changing relationship between the United States and England and explores the dramatic shifts of the Cold War from the end of the war up to the present.
