Following the fall of the Manchu dynasty in 1911, China struggles to free itself from foreign control and to build a true republic, while corrupt warlords fight for power under the influence of Japan.

Refugees flee into the interior, where workers form cooperatives to produce arms and supplies, and guerrillas and regular troops resist Japanese advances. The Pacific Story, broadcast by NBC in 1943, presents this account through drama and commentary by Owen Lattimore, director of the School of International Relations at Johns Hopkins University.

With Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek, Wan Lu Shen, Owen Lattimore.

On the night of April 14, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln attends a charity performance of the comedy Our American Cousin at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. Reporters move through the crowd outside and inside the theater, speaking with Lincoln, his guests, the theater staff and the presidential guard, John F. Parker. The play is interrupted by a shot from the presidential box, and the audience and the reporters rush to find out what has happened. The broadcast follows the confusion in the theater, then turns to reports from the Peterson House, where the wounded president has been carried, and to the wider alarm across the capital. The episode is in the You Are There series, first broadcast by CBS on December 14, 1947.
