ALISTAIR COOKE'S AMERICA BOX SET

A personal view of the history of the USA from Britain's best loved American correspondent. "You know, when i told an old Southerner, a friend of mine, that i was going to try tell my version of American history in thirteen hours, he said 'better talk fast, boy.'" Through his BBC radio series, Letter From America, Alistair Cooke reported on every aspect of life in the United States for over 50 years. In 1973 he wrote and presented this critically acclaimed TV series, which became a hit on both sides of the Atlantic, generated a best selling book and earned Cooke an invitation to address Congress in bicentennial celebrations in 1974. Cooke died in March 2004, just a month after his last ever Letter From America.
