El aclamado periodista y autor Ray Suarez explora las vidas de hombres y mujeres latinoamericanos en un periodo de quinientos años, e incluye una gama épica de experiencias que abarca desde los primeros asentamientos europeos al Destino Manifiesto; del Salvaje Oeste a la Guerra Fría; de la Gran Depresión a la globalización; de la Guerra Hispano-Estadounidense al movimiento de los derechos civiles.
