War in a Time of Peace

It is no surprise that James Naughton is a veteran reader of audiobooks. He has a deep, rich voice that never falters in its delivery, and he clearly communicates the intentions of the author. Halberstam, best known as the author of THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST, gives us a serious text about a serious subject: American foreign policy from the end of the Cold War to the beginning of the current war against terrorism. In addition to the facts of foreign policy, Halberstam seeks to communicate an understanding of its complexities by examining relevant decisions and the decision-makers who carry out foreign policy.
