Illustrated with maps. PULITZER PRIZE FINALIST. "Halberstam at his very best.Riveting." - The Wall Street Journal. "In a grand gesture of reclamation and remembrance, Mr. Halberstam has brought the war back home." - The New York Times. "For the light it sheds on neglected history, and for its resonance today, The Coldest Winter deserves our attention, and its palce beside The Best and the Brighest on the shelves of contemporary history." - The Cleveland Plain Dealer. "[Halberstam] alternates between descriptions of the politics back home and the battles on the front lines. One is a tale of cynical double-dealing, the other of bravery and zeal. This is a fine last testament." "[The Coldest Winter] is possibly the best one-volume history of the conflict yet." - Newsweek. "The late David Halberstam's last gift to the world should make the Korean War 'forgotten' no more." - Sunday Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News. "David Halberstam.brings angry wisdom to a conflict that, after the moral clarity of WWII, seemed remote and incomprehensible. It was the miserable prototyple for wars to come." - Time. "The Coldest Winter is a superb conjoining of all the factors of this tragic war: the military tactics and strategy of both sides; the international diplomacy; the internal politics; the personalities of the various plyaers. A great work." - Lt. General Harold G. Moore (Ret.), co-author of We Were Soldiers Once . and Young. Metsch, Fritz (book design); Pugliese, Paul J. (maps) (ilustrador).…

First published for the twenty-fifth anniversary of the fall of Saigon, this unique two-volume anthology from the Library of America evokes a turbulent and controversial period in American history and journalism. Drawn from original newspaper and magazine reports and contemporary books, this volume along with its companion brings together the work of over eighty remarkable writers to create an unprecedented mosaic view of the war and its impact on an increasingly fractured American society. The first volume traces the deepening American involvement in South Vietnam from the first deaths of American advisers in 1959 through the controversial battle of ?Hamburger Hill? in 1969. Malcolm Browne, Neil Sheehan, and David Halberstam report on the guerrilla warfare of the early 1960s; Jack P. Smith, Ward Just, and Peter Arnett experience the terrors of close-range combat in the Central Highlands; Marguerite Higgins and Frances FitzGerald observe South Vietnamese politics; Jonathan Schell records the destructive effects of American firepower in Quang Ngai; Tom Wolfe captures the cool courage of navy pilots over North Vietnam. Writers who covered the bitter controversy at home are included as well?Meg Greenfield describing an early teach-in, Norman Mailer at the Pentagon March, Jeffrey Blankfort exploring the sorrowful impact of the war on a small town in Ohio. Thomas Johnson and Wallace Terry examine the changing attitudes of African-American soldiers fighting America?s first fully integrated war. Included in full is Daniel Lang?s Casualties of War, the haunting story of a five-man reconnaissance patrol choosing between good and evil. This volume contains a detailed chronology of the war, historical maps, biographical profiles of the journalists, explanatory notes, a glossary of military terms, an index, and a 32-page insert of photographs of the correspondents, many from private collections and never before seen. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "This splendid collection testifies to the courage, endurance & swallowed anger of an extraordinary group of writers, who, by sharing the agony, earned their right to report it." - John LeCarre * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & internationally via USPS FIRST CLASS AIRMAIL.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Fundamentals of Sports Media and Sponsorship Sales: Developing New Accounts is a tutorial in narrative form that provides practical step-by-step instruction on how to develop new sports sponsors and advertisers. There's guidance covering the gamut from getting organized, identifying prospects, preparing for the first conversation, commanding the room when presenting a proposal and closing a piece of business. PricewaterhouseCooper forecasts media rights and sponsorship will grow to $37 billion annually by 2018. In 2009, sponsorship and sports media rights produced just north of $20 billion. In today's general environment of restrained growth, sports revenue continues to outpace the expansion of many mainstream industries. Sales are the backbone of support for both these revenue sources. Because of these projections, there will be an accelerated need to find and train best-in-class sports sellers. But sports sellers don't have it easy. There are enough emotional challenges to weaken the resolve of even the best salespeople. As such, the text is chock-full of motivational suggestions and stimulating success stories. The book provides counseling to help sellers maintain their emotional equanimity through the crucibles that they tackle regularly. There are chapters on what sellers can learn from great leaders and many tips and tricks to get through gatekeepers and other obstacles. There are also interviews with some major marketing and advertising executives who share their views on a variety of subjects including how new sports sponsorship opportunities are best presented to them and what they consider to be both helpful and annoying behavior by sellers. Whether it's the chief marketing officer of Wal-Mart or the sponsorship head of MasterCard, the guidance they share is precious. The last chapter covers inspiring cold call successes including the three greatest in sports history; the sale of the naming rights to Barclays for the arena in Brooklyn, the NASCAR sale to Nextel for the naming rights to its cup series and most recently, the multi-million dollar sale by a relative newcomer to the business to Moda Health, covering the naming rights to the Rose Garden in Portland. As a result of this achievement, the seller, Uzma Rawn, was selected to Forbes' top 30 under 30 in the sports space.…
