![]() ![]() 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. It stands as a lasting testament to its author, and to the fighting men whose heroism it chronicles. Pulitzer-winning historian Halberstam first decided to write this book more than thirty years ago and it took him nearly ten years.
