520    "William Halsey was the most famous naval officer of World
       War II. His fearlessness in carrier raids against Japan, 
       his steely resolve at Guadalcanal, and his impulsive 
       blunder at the Battle of Leyte Gulf made him the "Patton 
       of the Pacific" and solidified his reputation as a 
       decisive, aggressive fighter prone to impetuous errors of 
       judgment in the heat of battle. In this definitive 
       biography, Thomas Alexander Hughes punctures the popular 
       caricature of the "fighting admiral" to reveal the truth 
       of Halsey's personal and professional life as it was lived
       in times of war and peace. Halsey, the son of a Navy 
       officer whose alcoholism scuttled a promising career, 
       committed himself wholeheartedly to naval life at an early
       age. An audacious and inspiring commander to his men, he 
       met the operational challenges of the battle at sea 
       against Japan with dramatically effective carrier strikes 
       early in the war. Yet his greatest contribution to the 
       Allied victory was as commander of the combined sea, air, 
       and land forces in the South Pacific during the long slog 
       up the Solomon Islands chain, one of the war's most 
       daunting battlegrounds. Halsey turned a bruising slugfest 
       with the Japanese navy into a rout. Skillfully mediating 
       the army and navy's constant strategy disputes--as well as
       the clashes of ego between General Douglas MacArthur and 
       Admiral Chester Nimitz--Halsey was the linchpin of 
       America's Pacific war effort when its outcome was far from
       certain."--Provided by publisher.
