Over the course of his career, Alistair Cooke has known and interviewed hundreds of the most influential men and women of the twentieth century. Here he has collected his memories of those whom he believes have left the world a better and more interesting place

It took me a while to get around to this one but I did find it quite rewarding. Cooke is a charitable man with a good word to say about most people. His descriptions of his interactions with immortals and other folk who fashion or history has moved out of the public consciousness are insightful and entertaining.
