This review is from: Admiral Halsey's Story (Paperback)

A wonderful perspective of the war in the South Pacific, told in Admiral Halsey's colorful language. Contains very detailed discussions about the many battles fought against the Japanese to final victory. Would highly recommend this book. I am a history buff and was amazed at how much more I learned from reading this book.

This review is from: Admiral Halsey's Story (Hardcover)

This book is a great book because it encases all the true purities of a book written by the person it's about from what I found it contained no historical inacuracies and listed the key players on his staff during his command as COMSPAC,3rd U.S. Pacfic Fleet. Its very humble in his writings which I believe reflects his pesonality for instance he discredits this newsman by giving him the Bull nickname and said that wrong with letting damn slip out here and there and an ocansional Oh sht he once said "I don't trust a fighting man who doesn't drink and smoke" ,but that right there is the Halsey personality which can't be changed or fixed fro the modern world which my opion is the pits .
