The late David Halberstam brings to this history of the Korean War the same combination of research; analysis; and narrative skill he delivered in the best and the brightest; his Pulitzer Prize-winning book on the Vietnam War. The coldest winter chronicles the political and military missteps by the larger-than-life personalities; including General Douglas MacArthur; as he shows how their gross misunderstanding took the nation off-course and exacted a costly toll on America's fighting men; whom he depicts as heroes in a bad war. The coldest winter was a finalist for the 2008 Pulitzer Prize in History.
