Shortly before he passed away, a long-forgotten manuscript resurfaced in a closet in his New York apartment. It was a travelogue of America during the early days of World War II that had sat there for sixty years.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Published to stellar reviews, Cooke’s \u003ci\u003eThe American Home Front\u003c\/i\u003e is a “valentine to his adopted country by someone who loved it as well as anyone and knew it better than most” (\u003ci\u003eThe Plain Dealer\u003c\/i\u003e).
