1.		The Coldest Winter: America and the Korean War from Hyperion Price: $23.10 Customer Review: Belongs on the shelf with the rest of Halberstam's great books: The Best and the Brighttest et al. Thank you, David, for another great read, another wonderful and accurate critique. R.I.P. Sgt Jackson, USMC 1988-2001	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The Best and the Brightest from Ballantine Books Price: $11.53 Customer Review: I read this book way back in 1974 when an old Army buddy Lt. Tom Couch told me to read it. I am a Veteran of the War in Southeast Asia. I can attest to the happenings during my tour of South Vietnam. I quickly learned that the War as it was being played out during the years of 1971-1972 was... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Coldest Winter, The: America and the Korean War from Hyperion Price: $12.21 Customer Review: Memories are the building blocks of identity, and psychologists have long known that, more than recollections of the past, memories are narratives that have built into them clear lessons consistent with an individual's worldview. What individuals do naturally for themselves historians do for... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.	[no image]	The Reckoning from Avon Books (P) 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	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		The Fifties from Random House Audio Customer Review: Doesn't Fawcett Columbine employ copy-editors? This is one manuscript that needed a good polishing, but didn't receive it. I realize that in any book of over seven-hundred pages there will be errata...but holy man-boobed Jesus, I expect better of a Harvard-educated Jewboy like David Halberstam and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		The Gigantic Book of Fishing Stories from Skyhorse Publishing Price: $16.47 Customer Review: This book is gigantic! You better have a sturdy coffee table in order to support it's weight! If you love fishing then you will love the stories. I just received this for Christmas and have already read quite a few.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		The Education of a Coach Customer Review: To many pro football fans, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belechick isn't a popular man, but I've always - despite "Spygate" - thought he was a great coach. After reading this book, I'm further convinced. I also understand his personality better, too - why is why who he is, a man with not much... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		The Best American Sports Writing of the Century from Houghton Mifflin Price: $12.89 Customer Review: I spent the better part of a month engrossed in this wonderful collection of sports writing, and I can't recommend this strongly enough for sportsfans and historians alike. The chronological organization of the writings herein also provided a fascinating look at the way America's sports passions... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Fear And Loathing In America: The Brutal Odyssey of an Outlaw Journalist (Thompson, Hunter S. Gonzo Letters, V. 2.) from Simon & Schuster Price: $19.80 Customer Review: Short stories. Motivated to stay up all night, blow something up or just ponder.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Everything 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	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.	[no image]	The Amateurs from Penguin (Non-Classics) Customer Review: I am a big fan of David Halberstam. Like his other books, this one was well written, but I just could not get into the subject matter. The main characters that he follows were uninteresting and pretty one dimnesional in their rowing obsession. Halberstam seems to worship their dedication to a sport... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		October 1964 from Ballantine Books Price: $10.85 Customer Review: One of the saddest aspects of David Halberstam's passing in 2007 is that we will no longer have the joy and privilege of reading his wonderful works on sports, especially baseball. October 1964 ranks only behind his work on the 1949 baseball season as a seminal work on the art and passion of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		The Red Rose Crew: A True Story of Women, Winning, and the Water from The Lyons Press Price: $10.17 Customer Review: I am the proud parent of a stroke rower. This story, of very different women, from widely geographic and psychological backgrounds, all coming together to do something no one had done before, is mesmorizing and grabs at every heartstring I have. The forward is equally compelling. I have met one of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		The 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	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Teammates, The: A Portrait of a Friendship from Hyperion Price: $11.16 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	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.	[no image]	Breaks of the Game, The from Hyperion Price: $10.87 Customer Review: I've been an NBA fan since I was a kid and I read this for the first time in summer of 2007. As someone who considers himself a knowledgeable NBA fan, I'm embarassed to say it took me so long to read this primer to the modern-day NBA. Breaks of the Game is as well-written and thoroughly... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		The Children from Ballantine Books Price: $12.89 Customer Review: The Children is David Halberstam's look at the college students who helped make the Civil Rights movement a success. The book is fascinating; Halberstam sweeps you along as events unfold. It is difficult to believe that things were so different just a few years ago. Even at 700+ pages, The Children... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Summer of '49 (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Modern Classics Price: $10.32 Customer Review: After reading this book you will see how great Baseball was pre 1965. The author describes perfectly the atmosphere, the players, the writers/announcers, how great the game was!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Ho from Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc. Price: $16.95 Customer Review: David Halberstam was a reporter in Vietnam from 1962-1964 and revealed what was happening. He won a Pulitzer Prize in 1964. Halberstam used his knowledge of Asia and his abilities as a political reporter to write this biography of Ho Chi Minh. The 'Bibliography' lists his sources. Bernard Fall seems... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Firehouse from Hyperion Price: $11.20 Customer Review: As a longtime fan of the great David Halberstam, I was surprised that I didn't enjoy this book more. Given its sobering and emotional subject matter, it would have been hard for such an important writer to make a mediocre book, but it's my belief that this is mediocre Halberstam. I read the book in... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
