About the book
Recommended by the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy as an exemplary informational text. In the years after WWII, America became the worlds greatest power. All the People discusses the U.S.A.’s uneasiness with its postwar role as a global policeman, even as we fought to keep countries across the world from becoming part of the Soviet Union’s communist empire. There were battles at home, too. With the civil rights movement and opposition to the Vietnam War, Truman, Stalin, Khrushchev, Ho Chi Minh, Thurgood Marshall, JFK, LBJ, Malcom X, Cesar Chavez, Bill Clinton-even the Beatles star in this exciting final chapter in a History of US.
