Alistair Cooke's American Journey by Alistair Cooke
Intertwined with the author's reflections on changing landscapes and cityscapes, this travelogue investigates at first hand the effects of the Second World War on America and the daily lives of Americans as they adjusted to radically modern circumstances.
Alistair Cooke was born in Manchester in 1908 and educated at the universities of Cambridge, Yale and Harvard. Throughout his long career he worked as a journalist and broadcaster for many different organisations including the BBC, The Times and the Guardian, and won numerous awards for his work. He is best known both at home and abroad for his weekly Letters from America, far and away the longest-running radio series in broadcasting history. He died in March 2004, just a few weeks after his retirement. Letter from America, a definitive selection of the Letters, is published by Penguin.
