Customer Reviews

Bull Halsey

Bull Halsey is an inspiration for all who have ever worn a uniform in any service. E.B. Potter I think does him justice in this biography, which I expect will become a standard as has his life of Nimitz.

Another masterpiece!

In keeping with Professor Potter's work about Admiral Nimitz, this, IMHO, is the definitive work about one of the most controversial admirals in naval history. I consider this book as a THE reference work about Halsey.

Very Enjoyable

Kept me interested from cover to cover. E.B. Potter does an excellent job of bringing history to life with this biography of Halsey.

NOT disappointed!

I read all three of EBPotter's naval biographies and found the Halsey biography to be on par with Nimitz and Burke. While not as lengthy as other Halsey biographies, I could not put the book down because I found it so interesting and compelling.

A fantastic biography of Halsey's life and career

A biography that retains both the levity of the man and the seriousness of the situation. Potter definitely deserves praise for this great biography.
