Requests:  0 Summary:  Pulitzer-winning historian Halberstam first decided to write this book more than thirty years ago and it took him nearly ten years. It stands as a lasting testament to its author, and to the fighting men whose heroism it chronicles. Halberstam gives us a full narrative of the political decisions and miscalculations on both sides, charting the disastrous path that led to the massive entry of Chinese forces near the Yalu, and that caught Douglas MacArthur and his soldiers by surprise. He provides vivid portraits of all the major figures--Eisenhower, Truman, Acheson, Kim, and Mao, and Generals MacArthur, Almond, and Ridgway. He also provides us with his trademark narrative journalism, chronicling the crucial battles with reportage of the highest order. At the heart of the book are the stories of the soldiers on the front lines who were left to deal with the consequences of the dangerous misjudgements and competing agendas of powerful men.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.90424 Ha item being mended Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 951.90424 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.90424 Halberstam Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.90424 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.90424 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.90424 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimanalo P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 951.90424 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 951.90424 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList
