Acerca del autor

Alistair Cooke won a Harkness Fellowship to Yale and Harvard, and he emigrated to America in 1937, where he scripted a regular "Letter from London" missive for NBC. He broadcasted "American Letter" for the BBC (the program's name was changed to" Letter from America" in 1950). The show's remit was to introduce his adopted country to his homeland by means of "a weekly personal letter to a Briton by a fireside about American life and people and places in the American news." It was immensely popular, and ran for 2869 broadcasts over 58 years the longest-running one-man series in broadcasting history. Cooke received an honorary knighthood for his contribution to Anglo-American understanding in 1973."
