David Halberstam died in April, 2007. He was an American journalist and author.

In the mid 1960s, Halberstam covered the Vietnam War for the New York Times. In 1963, he received a George Polk Award for his reporting at the New York Times. At the age of 30, he won a Pulitzer Prize for his reporting on the war.

After writing his book about the Vietnam War, “The Best and the Brightest”, Halberstam plunged right into another “big” book and in 1979 published an informative book about some of the major media outlets in America. “The Powers That Be” gave compelling profiles of men like William Paley of CBS, Henry Luce of “Time” Magazine, Phil Graham of “The Washington Post” – and many others.

Later in his career, Halberstam turned to the subjects of sports, publishing an ambitious book on Michael Jordan in 1999 called “Playing for Keeps” and on the pennant race battle between the Yankees and Red Sox called “Summer of ‘49”.
