Summary

Alistair Cooke was the greatest of all twentieth century reporters of life in America to the rest of the world. This book presents the cream of his writings on the events that shaped modern American history, from the end of the Second World War through to the assassination of John Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy (Cooke was actually present), the moon landings and the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Almost all the material will be new to Cooke fans – transcripts of his legendary Letters from America, long-forgotten reports in the Guardian (whose correspondent in New York he was for 25 years) and other freshly discovered writings.

Full of interest and well presented

The choice of material to include from the huge legacy of Alistair Cooks written legacy is excellent, giving the listener an absorbing insight to 6 tumultuous decades of American history from the 1940s into the early years of the 21st century. The narration is perfect and the participation of Cook’s daughter provides a touching awareness of the personality of this amazing man.
