"Halsey's Typhoon"
A book published this month should help with the insatiable appetites of WWII buffs like me.

http://www.sobelweber.com/authors/bobDrury.html

The PAC Fleet led by Admiral Halsey finds itself in the middle of a Pacific Typhoon in 1944. Some excerpts about Lt Gerald Ford's heroic efforts onboard the USS Monterey.

"A courageous story of survival against impossible odds."

If you want to read a courageous story of survival may I suggest "FATAL VOYAGE" about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis in July 1945.

Happy Reading.

1. Maybe a weird question, but...
Is this the same storm depicted in The Caine Mutiny?
