Julius & Ethel Rosenberg
America has long been a nation proud of its ethnic diversity. But, as the melting pot grows, so does the potential for cultures to clash -- particularly when the U.S. is at war. Host Frank Stasio explores xenophobia, the fear of strangers, in wartime America with a look at the country's reaction during the Cold War, the Cuban Missile Crisis and after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Joining the program are UNC professors Erin Carlston, Charles Kurzman, and Rosa Perelmuter.
