Synopsis
America's policy of non-interventionism had reduced its military to a bare minimum, but the threats posed by the Nazi regime in Europe and the Japanese empire in the Pacific turned a peace-loving state into the world's leading military power ... until our days. From the courageous and long-suffering infantry, which drove the Nazis from the conquered territories of Western Europe during World War II, to the overwhelming navy, which recovered from the attack on Pearl Harbor, becoming an invincible force. This, without forgetting the Air Force, whose pilots and planes destroyed the deadly German Luftwaffe and killed thousands of feared Japanese "zeroes". And, above all of them, the legendary marine infantry, the brave marines.

Biography is a documentary television series. It was originally a half-hour filmed series produced for CBS by David Wolper from 1961 to 1964 and hosted by Mike Wallace. The A&E Network later re-ran it and has produced new episodes since 1987. The older version featured historical figures such as Helen Keller and Mark Twain, or long-dead entertainment figures such as Will Rogers or John Barrymore. The A&E series has placed the emphasis on such people as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Plácido Domingo, Freddie Mercury, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Eric Clapton, Pope John Paul II, Gene Tierney, Selena, Diego Rivera, Mao Zedong and Queen Elizabeth II, and fictional characters like The Phantom, Superman, Hamlet, Betty Boop, and Santa Claus. The program ended up profiling enough figures that in 1999, A&E spun it off into an entire network, The Biography Channel.
