Search - American Home Front, The: 1941-1942

Leaving Washington, Alistair Cooke travels south from Washington to the Gulf Coast, west to California and up to Seattle, then on to the Great Lakes, at a time before interstates and paved highways. Along the way his log reports on Jim Crow, Japanese internment and other social difficulties. His journalistic report reveals the same wry, insightful man from Masterpiece Theatre, journeying through an America that was, a different time in a different space. Highly recommended for style and content to everyone who wants to remember America, or Alistair Cooke's remarkable journalism.
