More About Alistair Cooke's American Journey by Cooke, Alistair
 
 
 
Overview

Alistair Cooke's American Journey: Life on the Home Front in the Second World War is an extraordinary travelogue, celebrating the spirit of a nation that would inspire Cooke's legendary broadcasts for the next sixty years. Within weeks of the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941, Cooke set off to see the effects of the war on ordinary Americans, from miners to lumberjacks, Pullman porters to peanut farmers and even Japanese-Americans interned in stark desert prison camps. Thought to have been lost for years, this enthralling account of Alistair Cooke's travels through American during the Second World War was rediscovered just before his death. 'So vivid ... he makes you feel you were there' John Humphrys 'A time capsule ... containing the essence of a vanished America' Independent on Sunday 'Personal, quirky, and sometimes very funny' Sunday Telegraph 'Cooke's mellifluous radio voice flows from every page ... an account of one man's love affair with an entire country. Every stop on the way glints like a facet on a diamond' Gavin Esler Alistair Cooke (1908-2004) enjoyed an extraordinary life in print, radio and television. The Guardian's Senior Correspondent in New York for twenty-five years and the host of groundbreaking cultural programmes on American television and of the BBC series America, Cooke was, however, best known both at home and abroad for his weekly BBC broadcast Letter from America, which reported on fifty-eight years of US life, was heard over five continents and totalled 2,869 broadcasts before his retirement in February 2004, far and away the longest-running radio series in broadcasting history.
