This epic story opens at the hour the Greatest Generation went to war on December 7, 1941, and follows four U.S. Navy ships and their crews in the Pacific until their day of reckoning three years later with a far different enemy: a deadly typhoon. In December 1944, while supporting General MacArthurs invasion of the Philippines, Admiral William ``Bull`` Halsey neglected the Law of Storms, placing the mighty U.S. Third Fleet in harms way. Drawing on extensive interviews with nearly every living survivor and rescuer, as well as many families of lost sailors, transcripts and other records from naval courts of inquiry, ships logs, personal letters, and diaries, Bruce Henderson finds some of the storys truest heroes exhibiting selflessness, courage, and even defiance.
