Ebook: Summer of '49

David Halberstam (1934-2007) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author. He is best known for both his courageous coverage of the Vietnam War for the New York Times, as well as for his twenty-one nonfiction books-which cover a wide array of topics, from the plight of Detroit and the auto industry to the captivating origins of baseball's fiercest rivalry. Halberstam wrote for numerous publications throughout his career and, according to journalist George Packer, single-handedly set the standard of "the reporter as fearless truth teller." Halberstam died in 2007.
