A panel of Korean War Vetrans talked about journalist and historian David Halberstam’s final book, The Coldest Winter: America and the Korean War, published by Hyperion. David Halberstam’s book is a thorough re-examination of a war considered by some to be too easily forgotten by many Americans. Among the veterans Halberstam interviewed were Lawrence Farnum, Richard Raybould, Paul McGee, Charles Hayward, and Ralph Hockley. They recounted their experiences and memories of being interviewed by him in a panel discussion moderated by Daun Van Ee of the Library of Congress’s Manuscript Division and also a veteran of the Korean War. close
