How history's only five-star admirals triumphed in World War II and
made the United States the world's dominant sea power.
Only four men in American history have been promoted to the
five-star rank of Admiral of the Fleet: William Leahy, Ernest King,
Chester Nimitz, and William Halsey. These four men were the best
and the brightest the navy produced, and together they led the U.S.
navy to victory in World War II, establishing the United States as
the world's greatest fleet.
In THE ADMIRALS, award-winning historian Walter R. Borneman tells
their story in full detail for the first time. Drawing upon
journals, ship logs, and other primary sources, he brings an
incredible historical moment to life, showing us how the four
admirals revolutionized naval warfare forever with submarines and
aircraft carriers, and how these men-who were both friends and
rivals-worked together to ensure that the Axis fleets lay destroyed
on the ocean floor at the end of World War II.
