Over fifty years of reportage on American life by one of the 20th
century's greatest broadcasters for nearly sixty years, Alistair
Cooke reported on American life for the BBC. Reporting America is a
fascinating account of history in the making. His beloved radio
show, "Letter from America," saw eleven presidents, four wars, and
an incredible shift in culture. He adored the u.s. as only a
naturalized citizen could, and his reports were incisive and often
moving. Cooke traveled extensively all over the united states to
convey the views of citizens in all the nuances of regional opinion
as well as those of the presidents and policy makers to whom he had
easy access.
Susan Cooke Kittredge's introduction offers rare insight into the
life of her father, the man many knew as the voice of "Letter from
America" and the host of CBS's Omnibus and PBS's Masterpiece
Theatre. Here are the triumphs, disasters and vicissitudes of
American life --from Korea, McCarthyism, the Civil Rights movement,
JFK, the moon landings, Watergate, Nixon's resignation, Clinton's
scandals, the attacks of 9/11, right up to the war with Iraq --as
told by one of the century's most admired reporters.
