Features five selected letters from American election years. Starting with Truman's surprise victory in 1948 and concluding with another surprise win, that of George W. Bush in 2000 - this title comments on opinion polls, democracy, the difference between Democrats and Republicans, and Bill Clinton's fashion sense.

The Letters are introduced by the BBC's North America editor, Justin Webb, who sets them in their historical context and reflects on what has changed since Cooke's original broadcasts and what has not.
