Editorial Reviews:
Review:"Well-written and lucid....Excellent, as is Halberstam's custom, and instructive for those seeking to understand geopolitical realities."
Kirkus, 07/01/2001
Review:"If bureaucracy has a poet, his name is Halberstam. Taken alone, the White House, the Pentagon, the State Department, the Congress all are institutions of bewildering complexity. No one has ever done a better job of mapping how policy gets made in the interplay of these fiefdoms. Or perhaps I should say, how policy gets lost.... Halberstam understands that the machinery is driven by personality as much as by events or policy. His portraits of the people who shaped military policy during the last decade give what might have been a dry study the flavor and drive of well-written history."
Mark Bowden, Washington Post Book World, 09/23/2001

In this long awaited successor to his #1 national bestseller The Best and the Brightest, David Halberstam describes in fascinating human detail how the shadow of Cold War Vietnam still hangs over American foreign policy and how domestic politics have determined our role as a world power . Halberstam brilliantly evokes the internecine conflicts, the untrammeled egos, and the struggles for dominance among the key figures in the White House, the State department, and the military . He shows how the Vietnam war has shaped American politics and policy makers . Perhaps most notable is what happened under Clinton when, for the first time in fifty years, a president placed domestic issues over foreign policy . With his uncanny ability to find the real story behind the headlines, Halberstam shows how current events in the Balkans and Somalia act as a fascinating mirror to American politics and foreign policy .Sweeping in scope and impressive in its depth, War in a Time of Peace provides fascinating portraits of Bill Clinton, George Bush, Ronald Reagan, Henry Kissinger, James Baker, Dick Cheney, Madeleine Albright, and others to reveal a stunning portrait of modern political America .
