Outstanding, as always TC. Dec. 7, like Nov. 22, May 4, and Jan. 6, will always be a warning day in American history if it's taught the way it ought to be.
Is there a decent biography of Admiral Halsey? Like many flag officers in times of crisis, there are a variety of reports on his qualities as a leader and I'd like to learn a bit more.

I go into a pretty long-winded discussion of the differences between Halsey and Spruanc as commanders (I'm a Spruance man) in my Pacifc War quadrilogy, among other things.
Halsey books are either panegyrics or indictments.
Thanks Tom. I'll be reading those next. Right now I have an interesting autobiographical study of life in Mozambique in the early 80s called The Mackerel Years by Kathleen Sheldon. It's definitely niche material, but Kathy, her husband and I went to school together long, long ago...
