| America's Quest for Freedom
The main story of America is its quest for freedom for all. This Reader’s Digest produced series looks at our history through that lens. While it celebrates our dedication to this human ideal, it also realistically shows that events which increased freedom for some groups were usually accompanied by forces suppressing liberty for others. This clear focus on America’s essential struggle memorably dramatizes our common history.
