Book excerpt: “A superbly written biography” of the legendary Admiral who commanded the Allied Pacific Fleet during WWII (Carlo D’Este, author of Eisenhower and Patton). Chester Nimitz was an admiral’s Admiral, considered by many to be the greatest naval leader of the last century. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Nimitz assembled the forces, selected the leaders, and—as commander of all US and Allied air, land, and sea forces in the Pacific Ocean—led the charge one island at a time, one battle at a time, toward victory. A brilliant strategist, Nimitz achieved remarkable victories against fantastic odds, outpacing more flamboyant luminaries like General Douglas MacArthur and Admiral “Bull” Halsey. And he was there to accept, on behalf of the United States, the surrender of the Japanese aboard the battleship USS Missouri in August 1945. In “meticulously researched, immensely informative, and laudably balanced” biography, Brayton Harris uses long-overlooked files and recently declassified documents to bring to life one of America’s greatest wartime heroes (Alan Axelrod, author of A Savage Empire).
