Description
We grow up with a mirror-image of Americana, yet despite its well-known majesty and menace it is a foreign land. To discover how reality compares with images and hopes I have just travelled through all the States, joining in the lives of some of those who are today recolonizing America.
I went to hear about this Redcoats' Return in the Eighties, to explore today's America through the eyes of the least visible, most integrated immigrants: the enterprising Yankee Doodle Brits.'
Thus begins one of the most fascinating and revealing studies of รฉmigrรฉs abroad and of the source of the American Dream. Many have sought the secret of American success; few have managed to pinpoint it. Alan Whicker, the world's most famous interviewer, teases insights out of his subjects which shed light on America today and on the eternal lure of this land at the end of the rainbow.
