Biography
American historical writer. Fascinated from an early age by maritime battles, the literary agent and lawyer published a book of his own in 2004, ""The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors" in which he chronicles the 1944 Battle of Samar. His book tells the tale of "Taffy 3" a collection of 13 poorly equipped ships that came upon a Japanese task force of four huge battleships and conquered in arguably the greatest maritime upset of the war. In 2004, Hornfischer is talking with a production company about making his book into a movie and is already working on his next book.
