This epic story opens at the hour the Greatest Generation went
to war on December 7, 1941, and follows four U.S. Navy ships and
their crews in the Pacific until their day of reckoning three years
later with a far different enemy: a deadly typhoon. In December
1944, while supporting General MacArthur's invasion of the
Philippines, Admiral William "Bull" Halsey neglected the Law of
Storms, placing the mighty U.S. Third Fleet in harm's way. Drawing
on extensive interviews with nearly every living survivor and
rescuer, as well as many families of lost sailors, transcripts and
other records from naval courts of inquiry, ships' logs, personal
letters, and diaries, Bruce Henderson finds some of the story's
truest heroes exhibiting selflessness, courage, and even
defiance.

This volume assembles the papers presented at the conference The
International Context of the Galician Language Brotherhoods and the
Nationality Question in Interwar Europe (Council of Galician
Culture, Santiago de Compostela, October 2016). The different
contributions, written by historians, political scientists and
linguists, shed new light on the political development of the
nationality question in Europe during the First World War and its
aftermath, covering theoretical developments and debates, social
mobilization and cultural perspectives. They also address the topic
from different scales, blending the global and transnational
outlook with the view from below, from the local contexts, with
particular attention to peripheral areas, whilst East European and
West European nationalities are dealt with on an equal footing,
covering from Iberian Galicia to the Caucasus. Contributors are:
Bence Bari, Stefan Berger, Miguel Cabo, Stefan Dyroff, Lourenzo
Fernandez Prieto, Johannes Kabatek, Joep Leerssen, Ramon Maiz, Xose
M. Nunez Seixas, Malte Rolf, Ramon Villares, and Francesca
Zantedeschi.
They called themselves Legionnaires of the Waffen SS, the new
European Army. They came from all nations of Europe, and they were
wearing the same uniform to fight for the same cause: fighting the
strong Russian Armed Forces. Almost one million of these young men
fought next to the Wehrmacht during WWII. It was during this era
that the ideal of a united Europe was born. There is no other
period in history that has been documented like the 6 years that
ranged from the invasion of Poland in 1939 to the capitulation in
Berlin in 1945. They left their homes, families, and friends with
their heart full of joy and pride. They had to endure extreme
weather from +40 to -50 while fighting on several fronts. They were
battle hardened because of this. They became good soldiers because
they knew how to survive in any situation. These young men were
prepared to give their lives for Germany and, in their eyes, for a
better Europe.
