Whenever I throw caution to the wind I make sure I'm facing the right way so that it doesn't blow back and hit me in my face.
With a book called 'Keeping Score,' I really did want to write a book about the Korean War, because I felt that it is the least understood war in the American cultural imagination. So I set out with the idea that Americans didn't know much about the Korean War and that I was going to try to fix a tiny bit of that.
