Books & Books - Coral Gables says…

When Pulitzer Prize-winner David Halberstam died in a car crash back in April at 73, America not only lost one of its keenest historians, but also one of its greatest storytellers. And if the stories he told in sweeping classics like The Best and the Brightest and The Powers That Be were the stories of others, he told them with a grace and a dignity that was wholly his own. The Coldest Winter contains the kind of history only a born reporter could write; Halberstam's look at the Korean War brings to life a past many believed to be forever buried. Tonight, Books & Books screens the 28-minute, torn-from-the-pages documentary.
