My opinion Joseph L. Galloway : David Halberstam knew about quagmires | www.azstarnet.com �: "He was the stuff of legend, and it is nothing less than a national tragedy that so great a voice was silenced by a car crash last Monday, just when it's needed more than ever.
David Halberstam's work and influence as reporter and author spanned half a century. He covered the most important stories of our time, from the civil rights struggle in the South during the 1950s to the Vietnam War in the 1960s and 1970s and into a new century and a new war, one that eerily reminded him of the mistakes of the one of his youth.
Along the way, he wrote hard-hitting stories that sounded an early warning against a rush to war in Vietnam. Those stories earned him the enmity of two American presidents and a Pulitzer Prize when he was 30 years old."
