You can find a large number of lectures addressing the period 1941-1960 in C-SPAN's Lectures in History series.

For example: World War II (more than 20 lectures related to WWII); the Cold War (at least 8 lectures); Korean War (only 3 lectures); post-WWII economic growth; emergence of the Civil Rights movement (at least 12 lectures); a variety of other social and cultural topics.
