War in a Time of Peace : Bush, Clinton, and the Generals / David Halberstam. New York : Scribner, 2001. 543 p. ; 25 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. 511-513) and index. David Halberstam describes in fascinating human detail how the shadow of Cold War Vietnam still hangs over American foreign policy, and how domestic politics have determined our role as a world power. Halberstam brilliantly evokes the internecine conflicts, the untrammeled egos, and the struggles for dominance among the key figures in the White House, the State Department, and the military. He shows how the Vietnam War has shaped American politics and policy makers. Perhaps most notable is what happened under Clinton when, for the first time in 50 years, a president placed domestic issues over foreign policy. 20011212. Bush, George, 1924-2018.
