Alistair Cooke's America

Shortly after this book appeared, in the autumn of 1973, Samuel Eliot Morison, the most distinguished of twentieth century American historians, wrote a letter of congratulation to his friend, Alfred A. Knopf, the publisher: "It is magnificent! I should be proud to have written it." This tribute alone could have established "America" as a classic. But it was the solo that led a chorus of critical praise and eventually put over a million and a half copies of this book in American and British homes.Cooke, Alistair is the author of 'Alistair Cooke's America', published 2002 under ISBN 9780786710362 and ISBN 0786710365.
