A Personal History of the United States written and narrated by Alistair Cooke
1: The First Impact
This series has won many awards on both sides of the Atlantic.
In this introductory programme ALISTAIR COOKE retraces the discoveries he made when he first crossed the Atlantic in 1932. The cameras range with him from. Vermont to the Pacific, and from Louisiana to the windswept plains of Minnesota.
Only the British would have the nerve to try and squeeze the history of ' Civilisation ' into 13 television shows with the help of Kenneth Clark and then let Cooke attempt the same thing with the long story of America. It is the greatest television contribution to truth since the invention of the ' instant replay.' (JAMES RESTON, NEW YORK TIMES)
