John Shaw follows the music from its roots in West Africa and early American militia drumming to its prominence in African American communities during the time of Reconstruction, both as a rallying tool for political militancy and a community music.

When American and South Vietnamese forces attacked Cambodia in 1970, the invasion ignited a firestorm of violent anti-war protests in the US.
