In the final chapter, the presenters discover what ended The Great Fire and how the city rebuilt itself from the ashes. Part 3 of 3.

The War: The Worst is Yet to Come

January 1943 to June 1943. American troops land in North Africa and test themselves for the first time against the German and Italian armies, learning to set aside the notion that killing is a sin, and adopting the outlook that 'killing is a craft'. Back home, cities become booming 'war towns' overnight as nearly all manufacturing is converted to the war effort, and thousands of women become industrial workers. A series by Ken Burns. Part 3 of 14.

The Vietnam War: The River Styx (January 1964-December 1965)
