by Joy Hakim

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.
