A dirty campaign Letter from America by Alistair Cooke: The Reagan Years (1981-1988)

    • Society & Culture

Slander and innuendo are nothing new in campaigning - but the rhetoric will soon be erased.
This archive edition of Letter from America was recorded by one of two listeners, who between them taped and labelled over 650 Letter From America programmes from 1973 to 1989. It was restored by the BBC in 2014.
