This meticulous study is a concentrated look at naval admiral
Chester W. Nimitz and his subordinate leaders--fighting men under
stress--and the relationship of fighting admirals to their top
leaders and each other. Bull Halsey, "The Patton of the Pacific,"
could win a battle; ascetic and cultivated Raymond Spruance could
win a campaign; but Chester W. Nimitz, the quiet but dauntless
battler from the banks of the Pedernales River, could win a war.
And the way he did win that war in the Pacific is the center of
this excellent and absorbing biography of naval operations and of
men in command relationships. How They Won the War in the Pacific
covers many leaders, including the top fighting ones afloat and
ashore, and it shows Admiral Chester W. Nimitz as history will
record him--as the wise, calm tower of strength in adversity and
success, the principal architect of victory in the Pacific during
World War II.
