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.
