In December, 1944, late in World War II, Admiral William "Bull" Halsey was one of America's most popular military leaders.  While his fleet covered the landings of General Douglas MacArthur in the Phillipines, he unwittedly sailed it into the teeth of the most poswerful storm on earth.  Upon exiting the storm, this typoon left a previously invincible fleet devastated, inflicting more damage and loss of life than that experienced during the earlier Battle Of Midway.  The Navy military establishment subsequently suppressed the scope of the disaster and Admiral Halsey never spoke about the ensuing Court Of Inquiry.  All told this typhoon damaged almost every ship and sank three: 1) The U.S.S. Hull; 2) The U.S.S. Monaghan and 3) The U.S.S. Spence.  For over 60 hours, small bands of survivors battled 150 m.p.h. winds, seas infested with sharks, dehydration and exhaustion waiting to be rescued.  Halsey's Typhoon is an action, packed true story of courage and survival against impossible odds and as such is one of the greatest World War II sagas of our time.  This book is 352 pages and in like new condition.  The authurs are Bob Drury, Robert Drury and Tom Clavin.  Edition published in 2006.
