Exceeded expectations!, so hard to find this book with a decent D J!, and at a bargain price. I prob would have sent it in a box as padded envelopes can rip the D J and books can be dropped in shipping. Other than that I'd say this seller is honest & has great prices. You made my month! Thank you!

Halberstam's The Coldest Winter: Important History; perfect first edition
If you are a follower of history, especially the long unbroken timeline of man's folly, then David Halberstam should have a place on your bookshelves. I was lucky to find this perfect first edition of his memorable and essential history of the Korean War, "The Coldest Winter." It is a heartbreaking and infuriating story, and, like history itself, so little learned from it. Thank you ebay seller Tiquerjim.If you are a follower of history, especially the long unbroken timeline of man's folly, then David Halberstam should have a place on your bookshelves.

Arguably David Halberstam's final opus, a trimph of men
“The Coldest Winter,” David Halberstam’s final journalistic tribute to heroes, is a fitting tribute to the men of the oft forgotten war. Halberstam’s lengthy career in journalism and author shows in his brilliant writing style that keeps you engrossed in every word. It is not surprising that someone who has written so much about Vietnam, would have a huge resource to draw upon in a work about the Korean War. The Coldest Winter is a story that needed telling, much the way Herodotus told of the men of Thermopylae or, more recently how Stephen Ambrose told of the men of Easy Company in Band of Brothers. Halberstam understood well how most Americans ignore the events and outcome of the Korean Conflict, often, that part of history seems better left untold. The Coldest Winter tells this ... “The Coldest Winter,” David Halberstam’s final journalistic tribute to heroes, is a fitting tribute to the men of the oft forgotten war. Halberstam’s lengthy career in journalism and author shows in his brilliant writing style that keeps you engrossed in every word. It is not surprising that someone who has written so much about Vietnam, would have a huge resource to draw upon in a work about the Korean War. The Coldest Winter is a story that needed telling, much the way Herodotus told of the men of Thermopylae or, more recently how Stephen Ambrose told of the men of Easy Company in Band of Brothers. Halberstam understood well how most Americans ignore the events and outcome of the Korean Conflict, often, that part of history seems better left untold. The Coldest Winter tells this story, and it’s back stories and even it’s substantial post-script. We mustn’t forget that the success of South Korea today owes a debt to the American and U.N. forces who fought there over half a century ago. What Halberstam also does in this book is point out the miserable failings of Generals like MacArthur, long-time sacred cows of military history, whose hubris in later life jeopardized the legacy of any truly heroic deeds of their youth. General Ned Almond is also lambasted for his stubbornness and poor leadership style, which led to unnecessary losses of American and U.N. forces. The Coldest Winter is a hefty book, at over 650 pages, broken into eleven sections over some 53 chapters, but it reads as fast as it reads brilliant. This is the first Halberstam book I have read, I regret that it comes only after his passing. There were certainly more great works to come had he not met his untimely death. REVIEW EVERY BOOK YOU READ, OTHER READERS, PUBLISHERS AND AUTHORS DESERVE YOUR OPINIONS TOO.

A forgotten war
In painstaking detail Halberstam traces the course of America's involvement in the Korean war. All the blunders on both sides are exposed. All the heroic actions of United Nations (U.S.) troops. When looked at from more than 50 years later it shows how easily U.S. troops can be sent to find wars than are for all practical purposes unwinnable.
