Leslie H. Gelbpresident, Council on Foreign RelationsHalberstam's most important book, more ambitious and revealing than "The Best and the Brightest," in what it tells of politics and decision making in America during the nineties. Just as Vietnam was the test case for our elders, the Balkans and other tragic conflicts became the proving ground for the Bush and Clinton administrations. What Halberstam has written is nothing less than a "War and Peace" for our generation.
