I've always enjoyed Halberstam's books. I saw this one when it came out but forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder ... guess this one goes on my list too.

Currently reading Before the Storm by Rick Perlstein. It looks at Barry Goldwater's rise to take the 1964 GOP nomination. However, it is really an account of how the modern conservative movement was born. I'm a political junkie and Goldwater has always been a hero of mine ... so, it is an interesting read.
