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 U.S. 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, he
astounded contemporaries by achieving military 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 this
first biography in over three decades, Brayton Harris uses
long-overlooked files and recently declassified documents to bring
to life one of America's greatest wartime heroes.
