Synopsis
"For over half a century, Alistair Cooke entertained millions of listeners across the globe with his weekly BBC radio programme 'Letter from America'. An outstanding observer of the American scene, he became one of the world's best-loved broadcasters and had the distinction of presenting the longest running one-man show in radio history. Here, published for the first time, is a selection of the finest of Alistair Cooke's 2,869 broadcasts, which celebrates the inimitable style of this wise, witty and astute reporter ... beginning with a 1946 description of the Englishman abroad, and ending with his last broadcast in February 2004 discussing the US presidential campaign"--Book Jacket.Book Details
