By John Wukovits
From Baird Maritime:
With his MacArthur like talent for personal public relations American Pacific War Admiral Bill Halsey was arguably better known than his superiors Nimitz and King.
Tough, pugnacious and theatrical, Halsey was also very effective in the same mould as his Army counterpart General George Patton. Halsey, as the author shows, was ready, willing and waiting for his high profile role in the war against the Japanese.
This is a "warts and all" biography of a controversial but ultimately highly successful warrior. Fair and well-balanced, the book describes well where Halsey came from and how, like so many of his less celebrated counterparts, he learnt his trade.
Halsey was truly a man for and of the hour. Wukovits shows that very clearly and effectively.
