from Ballantine Books
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
June, 1969, I arrive in Bangkok, Thailand for a 9 month TOD at
Ramasun Station---a small, high tech ASA listening post.
Barhopping in Bangkok that night before I'm to be flown to
my duty station in NE Thailand I come across some happy

2.Everything They Had: Sports Writing from David HalberstamEverything They Had: Sports Writing from David Halberstam
from Hyperion
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
In "Everything They Had," we get the lighter side (in the best sense) of David Halberstam. A noted Pulitzer winning journalist and writer of contemporary history, he also wrote many books and articles about sports such as baseball, football, basketball, and fishing. Sports were the fun part of his... more info

3.The FiftiesThe Fifties
from Ballantine Books
Price: $12.21

Customer Review:
A magnificent synthesis of the political, economic and popular history of a decade in which America assumed the mantle of a global power. Halberstam says in his preface that it may have been the black and white still photos that documented the decade in contrast to the video, and color that was to... more info

4.Coldest Winter, The: America and the Korean WarColdest Winter, The: America and the Korean War
from Hyperion
Price: $12.21

Customer Review:
In this highly political and personally skewed account of the Korean War, Halberstam does a good job of explaining what the average soldier went through fighting in a war that no one in the US wanted. No one except Douglas MacArthur, and he wanted to turn it into a major ground war with Red China.... more info

5.[no image]THE RECKONING
from BLOOMSBURY

Customer Review:
David Halberstam wrote in 1986 his view of the history of the carmaking industry. He focuses on Ford and Nissan. Other players get mentions here and there, but no more than that. While a broader look at the whole carmaking industry might seem better, Halberstam's approach works.
No one writes... more info

6.The Coldest Winter: America and the Korean WarThe Coldest Winter: America and the Korean War
from Hyperion
Price: $23.10

Customer Review:
Halberstam must have spent considerable effort expanding this out to 600+ pages. His insights are repeated, ad nauseum, throughout the text. The narrative switches back and forth; between US pols, Tokyo and scant coverage of the battlefield itself. Each transition is burdened with fluff, and the... more info

7.The Teammates: A Portrait of a FriendshipThe Teammates: A Portrait of a Friendship
from Wheeler Publishing

Customer Review:
This a wonderfully written book that leaves you with a very warm and nostalgic feeling. Yeah, it's about four great players for the Boston Red Sox but it's so much more. I'm afraid to say much more because it may sound trite or have too many cliches. However, it really is a story, as advertised,... more info

9.War in a Time of Peace: Bush, Clinton, and the GeneralsWar in a Time of Peace: Bush, Clinton, and the Generals
from Scribner
Price: $13.50

Customer Review:
As I finished this book, I couldn't help think how out of date it feels. Although Halberstam mentions terrorist threats on the very last page of the book; the African embassy bombings, the USS Cole attack, the Khobar towers bombing, and President Clinton and Sandy Berger's chase after Al Queda... more info

10.The Powers That BeThe Powers That Be
from University of Illinois Press
Price: $16.47

Customer Review:
This book is big and thick and it is hard to put down. It opens the reader to the media-the reporters-the owners-the news broadcasters and the men and women behind the scenes. He tells in vivid detail how the reporters all over the world as well as covering wars are supported or not by the... more info
