Born in New York City, Halberstam spent much of the 1960s as a reporter for the <i>New York Times</i>, covering the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights movement. His Vietnam reporting earned him both a George C. Polk Award and a 1964 Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. <i>Vanity Fair</i> dubbed Halberstam "the Moses of American journalism," and the subjects of his books reflect his passion and range: war, foreign policy, history, and sports. <p/><i>The Best and the Brightest</i> (1962), his sixth book, a critique of the Kennedy administration's Vietnam policy, became a #1 bestseller. His next book, <i>The Powers that Be</i>, a study of four American media companies, was hailed by the <i>New York Times</i> as a "prodigy of research." Many of Halberstam's books explored themes in professional sports, including bestsellers <i>The Teammates</i>, a portrait of the friendship between baseball players Ted Williams, Dominic DiMaggio, Johnny Pesky, and Bobby Doerr, and <i>The Education of a Coach</i>, a profile of New England Patriots' Coach Bill Belichick.
