SPOILER ALERT - If you are not beyond page 168, you might not want to read this.
Halberstam continues to circle around the Korean War. But, for many points that he makes here, I found this to be the most educational Part.
First, the matter of foreign policy and defense policy being different realms.
Second, the difficulties of the United States emerging from WW2 as a superpower.
Third, the Korean War, as Halberstam so aptly put it, "it was never just about Korea."
Make no mistake about Halberstams story-telling ability recounting Truman and MacArthur, Chiang Kai-shel, Mao, Henry Luce and others. I wonder if Halberstam organized this Part around his points that I surmised above, or vice versa?
