Cooke, Alistair
The American Home Front, 1941-1942
New York Atlantic Monthly Press 2006 0871139391 / 9780871139399 First U.S. Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
xx, 327 pp., illus., map, index; 24 cm. Map on lining papers. Tight, clean copy. Stated "First American Edition." Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "From the famous BBC correspondent and television host comes a remarkably insightful and detailed firsthand portrait of America during the early days of World War II. Shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, Alistair Cooke, a newly naturalized American citizen, set out to see his country as it was undergoing monumental change. Cooke traveled small highways, with their advertising signs and their local topography, in an age before the interstate highway system. In The American Home Front--a fascinating artifact, a charming travelogue, and a sharp portrait of America--Cooke chronicles the regional glories he encounters and the reactions of the citizens to war, from indifference to grief, from opportunism to resilience under military threat. Filled with touching personal stories of the effects of war, from a Japanese family facing internment that tries to sell Cooke their car, to the experiences of the unemployed relocating in hopes of jobs in a gunpowder factory, The American Home Front is the work of an experienced, talented journalist; it is intelligent, touching, and funny." - Publisher.
