The book’s non chronological writing makes it so it’s somewhat difficult to orient yourself in time. Halberstam sometimes makes jumps from the 40s to the end of the 50s in profiling people. But slowly a picture of the fifties starts to emerge reading through the book.

Such an interesting book. Though sometimes halberstam will write a profile of a man, referencing events that happen later, then return to an earlier time in that man’s life somewhat confusingly for a vegetable like me.
