Summary: Documents the struggles among the Allied leaders to gain dominance for their own country as World War II is being won, ultimately resulting in the start of the Cold War. This program: millions perish of starvation and other effects of the war. The broken promises and implicit threats between the Big Three create the arena for the confrontation of the two new superpowers as exhausted Britain loses its pre-eminence. Britain repudiates Churchill's dreams of restored imperial grandeur, and the U.S.S.R. and the U.S. go in twelve months from being allies to enemies.
