Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist David Halberstam chronicles Washington politics and foreign policy in post-Cold War America. Evoking the internal conflicts, unchecked egos, and power struggles within the White House, the State Department, and the military, Halberstam shows how the decisions of men who served in the Vietnam War, and those who did not, have shaped America's role in global events. He provides fascinating portraits of those in power — Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Kissinger, James Baker, Dick Cheney, Madeleine Albright, and others — to reveal a stunning view of modern political America. Synopsis:With penetrating insight, legendary author and historian Halberstam profiles the key figures of the last two administrations. Drawing on research and his own experience as a reporter, Halberstam explores the dichotomy in the Clinton administration. About the AuthorDavid Halberstam is one of America's most distinguished journalists and historians, a man whose newspaper reporting and books have helped define the era we live in. He graduated from Harvard in 1955, took his first job on the smallest daily in Mississippi, and then covered the early civil rights struggle for the Nashville Tennessean. He joined The New York Times in 1960, went overseas almost immediately, first to the Congo and then to Vietnam. His early pessimistic dispatches from Vietnam won him the Pulitzer in 1964 at the age of thirty. His last twelve books, starting with The Best and the Brightest and including The Powers That Be, The Reckoning, and The Fifties, have all been national bestsellers.
