Reporting America

"This year marks the centenary of the birth of Alistair Cooke, the greatest of all twentieth century reporters of life in America to the rest of the world. To celebrate, we are publishing Reporting America - a magnificent new volume of previously unpublished Alistair Cooke reportage on the events that shaped modern American history, from the end of the Second World War through to the assassination of John Kennedy and of Bobby Kennedy (Cooke was actually present), the moon landings and the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Almost all the material is previously unpublished in book form - transcripts of his legendary Letters from America, long-forgotten reports in the Guardian (whose correspondent in New York he was for 25 years)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. The book is illustrated throughout in full colour with iconic photographs of the events Cooke is describing, and contains a very moving introduction by his daughter, Susan Cooke-Kittredge."--Publisher description.
