Starring James Stewart and Don DeFore.
NEWS OF 1940: Europe explodes in war. Allied forces are driven from the continent by the Nazis with 300,000 British troops barely escaping destruction at Dunkirk. As Roosevelt wins a historic third term, America begins to build its armed forces and industry in anticipation of war.
