ISBN10: 0394503643, ISBN13: 9780394503646, [publisher: Alfred A. Knopf, New York USA] Hardcover For more than thirty years now, Alistair Cooke has been observing us and talking about us in a weekly fifteen-minute radio talk - Letter from America - broadcast to millions of devoted listeners in Britain and other parts of the world. Discussing the news, reporting fads and scandals, describing his personal experiences with American folkways and with men and women famous and obscure, the talks have become established as the finest possible running commentary on Cooke's adopted country. Pity is, most Americans can't hear them. Now, with the publication of this book, we can discover what Cooke has been saying about us and see ourselves as he sees us. Fifty of his best talks have been brought together, a Cooke's-eye view of our last ten years. A splendid look at ourselves (and Cooke), a memorable tour of our most recent American decade. Hand-cut pages. Tiny tear to D/J. Very slight foxing to D/J.

In 1946, he began a tradition that would last nearly six decades-his Letter from America radio appearances on the BBC.In one of these essays Cooke remarks on the difference between being alive during certain events and actually living through them: I found myself remarking on this difference as I read about Watergate, the death of Bing Crosby, the porn wars in the Supreme Court and other events I'd been alive for (and some I remembered reading about and talking about when I was younger). The thing is, that the ten years that this book covers (1969-Date: 1979) are the ten years in which I slowly wakened to the world around me. The only external memory I have of the events of 1969 were the Mets winning the series (I do remember the '68 Democratic Convention, but barely), which he doesn't cover, while by his 1979 essays I was saying "oh ...
