As WWII ends, six brilliant minds converge to guide a new president. Harriman, Acheson, Kennan and others forge a strategy to contain Soviet expansion, setting the stage for the Cold War. But their personal rivalries and conflicting visions threaten to upend the fragile global order they're trying to build. In this gripping true story, the choices of these "wise men" would reverberate for generations.
