Cooke, Alistair

Alistair Cooke's American Journey: Life on the Home Front in the Second World...

Mint condition. Allen Lane, 2006. First edition-5th printing. Blue hardback(silver lettering to the spine) with Dj(a couple of nicks and crease on the edges of the Dj cover), both in mint condition. Illustrated with a map inside the front and back cover, colour, b/w photos, drawings. The book is new with a small ink mark on the outer edge of the pages. Foreword by Harold Evans. 339pp including List of illustrations, index. Price un-clipped. Product Description: Alistair Cooke, then a Washington correspondent for The Guardian, recognized a great story to be told in investigating at first hand the effects of the Second World War on America and the daily lives of Americans as they adjusted to radically new circumstances. Within weeks of the Pearl Harbor attack, with a reporter's zeal, Cooke set off on a circuit of the entire country to see what the war had done to people. He talked to everyone he encountered on his extensive trip, from miners to lumberjacks, to war-profiteers, to day-laborers, to local politicians - even the unfortunate Japanese-Americans who had been rapidly interned in stark, desert camps. Intertwined with his reflections on changing landscapes and cityscapes and with his unique storytelling skills and insight, his acute ability to define detail and catch the sounds and syntax of different regional accents, this is Alistair Cooke moving into his prime as a reporter and a writer. His prescient observations on what was happening and considerations on where America was headed provide a clearer understanding of a critical moment in world history just prior to the dropping of the Atomic bomb. This unique travelogue celebrates an important American character and the indomitable spirit of a nation that was to inspire Cooke's reports and broadcasts for some sixty years. New/New.
