具體描述
Up until now, the Korean War has been the black hole of modern American history. "The Coldest Winter" changes that, giving readers a masterful narrative of the political decisions and miscalculations on both sides. He charts 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 astonishingly vivid and nuanced portraits of all the major figures - Eisenhower, Truman, Acheson, Kim, and Mao, and Generals MacArthur, Almond, and Ridgway.At the heart of the book are the individual stories of the soldiers on the front lines who were left to deal with the consequences of the dangerous misjudgments and competing agendas of powerful men. We meet them, follow them, and see some of the most dreadful battles in history through their eyes. As ever, Halberstam was concerned with the extraordinary courage and resolve of people asked to bear an extraordinary burden. Contemporary history in its most literary and luminescent form, "The Coldest Winter" provides crucial perspective on the Vietnam War and the events of today.

讀後感
580页的厚书终于读完了。前面有一部分读得我咬牙切齿地几乎放弃，后面又欲罢不能。读后胡思乱想奇多。 首先，敬佩作为普利策奖得主的作者主文笔甚是了得，那么繁杂的事件，安排调度得当，紧紧抓住读者，紧扣关于对朝鲜战争策略的反思，对战事只写了几个关键战役，而对其它战...
評分历史总是让人惦记，今年，那曾影响而且一直影响东亚乃至全球地缘政治格局的朝鲜战争已经过去一个甲子。这场战争应该不应该打，或许可从朝鲜战争期间担任美国参谋首长联席会议主席的五星上将布莱德雷说的一句话得出结论：假如按照麦克阿瑟的战略计划，把在朝鲜的战争延伸到轰炸...
