Coles Rampage and Redemption: The Air Combat Missions that Saved the Controversial Career of Admiral William F. Halsey, January 1945 at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Rampage & Redemption offers a fresh, deeply researched account of Admiral William F. Halsey's controversial leadership during the January 1945 air combat campaign in the South China Sea. Once hailed as a national hero, Halsey's reputation was tarnished by two catastrophic decisions in late 1944-errors that cost lives and nearly ended his career. Just weeks later, Halsey led a daring series of air strikes that redeemed his legacy, but at a staggering cost. Through vivid firsthand accounts from sailors and airmen, Martin Irons reconstructs the harrowing missions, the brutal weather, and the internal struggles aboard warships battered by storms and fatigue. The narrative reveals Halsey's declining health, questionable judgment, and the immense pressure of command, painting a nuanced portrait of a legendary admiral at his breaking point. With fresh insights, untold stories, and critical analysis, Rampage & Redemption fills a major gap in World War II naval history. It is a must-read for military historians, naval enthusiasts, and anyone seeking to understand the human cost of leadership in wartime.
