In 1972, award-winning reporter David Halberstam's magisterial and thrilling The Best and the Brightest set the gold standard for Vietnam War books. More than three decades later, Halberstam uses his unrivalled research and formidable journalistic skills to shed light on another dark corner in America's history: the Korean War. Halberstam considers The Coldest Winter his best book--the culmination of 45 years of writing about America’s postwar foreign policy.
