    David Halberstam

  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Hyperion, 2007

  • Description

    David Halberstam’s magisterial and thrilling The Best and the Brightest was the defining book for the Vietnam War. The Coldest Winter is a successor to The Best and the Brightest, even though in historical terms it precedes it.Halberstam considered The Coldest Winter the best book he ever wrote, the culmination of forty-five years of writing about America’s postwar foreign policy.Up until now, the Korean War has been the black hole of modern American history.The Coldest Winter changes that. As ever, Halberstam was concerned with the extraordinary courage and resolve of people asked to bear an extraordinary burden.The Coldest Winter is contemporary history in its most literary and luminescent form, and provides crucial perspective on the Vietnam War and the events of today. Legendary for his work ethic, his kindness to young writers, and his unbending moral spine, Halberstam had friends and admirers throughout journalism, many of whom spoke at his memorial service and at readings across the country for the release of The Coldest Winter.
