Land of Lime pays tributes to David Halberstam, who died last week in a car crash.
Linked by bhupinder. Join Blogbharti facebook group.Halberstam didn’t remain a reporter. Instead, he became a chronicler of the biggest stories of the second half of the 20th century. He is rightly praised for his ‘Best and the Brightest‘, but I loved his two books on the fifties: The fifties and The Children. More on these two books soon. I also liked his two other massive works, The Powers that be, on the emergence of NYT, Washington Post, Time and LA Times as media gaints and The Reckoning, a history of automobile industry as told through the stories of Ford and Nissan.
