Synopsis
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.

Publisher's Note
A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist explores the lesser-known elements of heroism and pathos that marked the Korean War, in a narrative successor to The Best and the Brightest that evaluates political decisions and miscalculations on both sides of the conflict.

Industry Reviews
"[A] vivid chronicle packed with the anecdotes and the stories of great men."
(07/01/2007)

"Commanding and evocative as Halberstam is about the brutal face of battle, his career's forte of explaining political contexts is the crucial advantage of this work, offering answers on how America became involved in the Korean conflict."
(07/01/2007)

"Alive with the voices of the men who fought, Halberstam's telling is a virtuoso work of history."
(07/23/2007)
