Alistair Cooke's America cover

Alistair Cooke's America

by Alistair Cooke

"Alistair Cooke's "personal history of the United States" led the bestseller lists in both Britain and the United States some thirty years ago. Since then the United Nations has acquired over 100 new "sovereign" states, the map of Europe has changed dramatically, the United States has fought three wars. Time is a perilous test for historians, but Alistair Cooke's account has emerged through a tumultuous time as a classic."--BOOK JACKET.
