David Halberstam RIP

I heard him speak once (a good speaker) and enjoyed his books.

[Ian McColgin]

He'll be missed.

[Uncle Duke]

Missed, indeed - one of the finest non-fiction writers ever.
Along with his political and major-issue works, he wrote a fantastic boat about Olympic rowing titled 'The Amateurs' - it's an absolute masterpiece.

RIP.
