This Epinion is about Ethnic Cleansing, Famine, Iraqis and Bill Clinton

Date of Review:  Apr 27, 2002
The Bottom Line: His books may be long, but for those interested in politics, foreign policy, or anything that we lived through, Halberstam is the first place I would consult.
Review: War in a Time of Peace: Bush, Clinton, and the Generals is a great piece of literature written by an award-winning author. David Halberstam, best known for his novel The Best and the Brightest, a chilling account of the Vietnam War, approaches a...

Halberstam offers a fascinating look at policies foreign and domestic in the 1990s.

Date of Review:  Nov 9, 2003
The Bottom Line: .
Review: Depending on how one views American foreign policy in the 1990s, it was either a decade of large failures and small triumphs or an unmitigated disaster. According to David Halberstam, it was more of the former.

Halberstam, a veteran New...

Looking backwards and forwards

Date of Review:  Nov 2, 2001
The Bottom Line: This book, especially under our current circumstances, deserves to be the best-selling book in America.
Review: At one point in "War in a Time of Peace," David Halberstam mentions that America's Vietnam experience changed everything it touched. I think that can be applied to Halberstam himself. His work as a young reporter in Vietnam made his reputation, and...

  Bowden, Mark, Washington Post Book World: "If bureaucracy has a poet, his name is Halberstam. Taken alone, the White House, the Pentagon, the State Department, the Congress all are institutions of bewildering complexity. No one has ever done a better job of mapping how policy gets made in the interplay of these fiefdoms. Or perhaps I should say, how policy gets lost.... Halberstam understands that the machinery is driven by personality as much as by events or policy. His portraits of the people who shaped military policy during the last decade give what might have been a dry study the flavor and drive of well-written history."
