Halsey's Typhoon The True Story of a Fighting Admiral, an Epic Storm, and an Untold Rescue Hardcover - 2006

by Robert Drury


From the publisher

In the tradition of The Perfect Storm and Flags of Our Fathers, Halsey's Typhoon chronicles the epic tale of men clashing against the ruthless forces of war and nature. In December 1944, America's most popular and colorful naval hero, Admiral William "Bull" Halsey, unwittingly sailed his undefeated Pacific Fleet into the teeth of the most powerful storm on earth. Three destroyers were capsized sending hundreds of sailors and officers into the raging, shark infested waters. Over the next sixty hours, small bands of survivors fought seventy-foot waves, exhaustion, and dehydration to await rescue at the hands of the courageous Lt. Com. Henry Lee Plage, who, defying orders, sailed his tiny destroyer escort USS Tabberer through 150 mph winds to reach the lost men. Thanks to documents that have been declassified after sixty years and dozens of first-hand accounts from survivors--including former President Gerald Ford--one of the greatest World War II stories, and a riveting tale of survival at sea, can finally be told.
