<title><![CDATA[The Coldest Winter: America and the Korean War]]></title>

<description><![CDATA["The late Halberstam's last work examines the causes, course, and lasting effects of the Korean War. While focusing on the bravery of the fighting men on both sides of the conflict, he shows the effect of poor strategic thinking by military and civilian leaders and provides vivid accounts of daily battles on the field and in the world capitals where the fighting is directed. A dense historical context offers a better understanding of the forces and events that shaped the war and its aftermath." -- John Pollock, Hickory Stick Bookshop, Washington Depot, CT]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Coal Black Horse: A Novel]]></title>

<description><![CDATA["With its focus on choice and consequence, Coal Black Horse carries the reader across a battlefield that stretches from the Civil War to today. A young man wears a reversible coat of gray and blue -- a talisman from his mother to shield him from 'enemy' fire -- as he journeys to bring his father home, aided by the strength of the coal black horse. Olmstead's novel is both epic and personal, filled with beautiful writing about war's ugliness." -- Charles Asher, Western AS Bookstore, Bellingham, WA]]></description>
