Description: Halberstam gives us a masterful narrative of the political ì
decisions and miscalculations on both sides. He charts the ì
disastrous path that led to the massive entry of Chinese forces ì
near the Yalu River and that caught Douglas MacArthur and his ì
soldiers by surprise. He provides astonishingly vivid and nuanced ì
portraits of all the major figures-Eisenhower, Truman, Acheson, ì
Kim, and Mao, and Generals MacArthur, Almond, and Ridgway. At the ì
same time, Halberstam provides us with his trademark highly ì
evocative narrative journalism, chronicling the crucial battles ì
with reportage of the highest order. As ever, Halberstam was ì
concerned with the extraordinary courage and resolve of people ì
asked to bear an extraordinary burden.Condition Information
