Panelists talked about the life and work of the late David Halberstam, focusing on his final book, The Coldest Winter: America and the Korean War, published that day by Hyperion. This history of the Korean War focuses on the battles of November 1950 in the snow-covered mountains of North Korea by outnumbered American soldiers and Marines against the Chinese Communist Army. The panel, moderated by Leslie Gelb, was part of the TimesTalks at The Times Center lecture series. A video was shown of David Halberstam at a previous TimesTalks program on January 6, 2007. Then Ms. Fitzgerald and Mr. Filkins joined the discussion which broadened to include Vietnam and Iraq. The panelists responded to questions from members of the audience.

William Stueck is the author of Rethinking the Korean War: A New Diplomatic and Strategic History, published by Princeton University Press. Joseph Goulden is the author of Korea: The Untold Story of the War, published by Times Books. Don Oberdorfer is close
