This program vividly depicts London under assault from Germany
during World War II, following legendary American newsman Walter
Cronkite back to London, where as a United Press correspondent, he
filed newspaper stories on the Blitz, D-Day and more. Drawing on
Cronkite's emotional personal memories, riveting archival footage
and recordings of radio broadcasts by Edward R. Murrow and the
speeches of Winston Churchill, CITY AT WAR conveys the impact of
American journalists in London during the war. Through their
frontline reporting, Cronkite, Murrow and others conveyed the
urgency of Germany's threat; by influencing American public opinion
about the war, they helped change the course of history.
