Award-winning Colorado historian Walter Borneman is the author of seven works of nonfiction, including 1812, The French and Indian War, and Polk. Borneman will discuss and sign his new book The Admirals: Nimitz, Halsey, Leahy, and King – The Five-Star Admirals Who Won the War at Sea ($29.99 Little, Brown). Only four men in American history have been promoted to the five-star rank of Admiral of the Fleet. In the closing days of World War II, this rank was accorded to a quartet whose achievements were so extraordinary that legislation proscribed future appointments to that rank. In The Admirals, Borneman tells their story in full for the first time, showing us how these men worked together to ensure that the Axis fleets lay destroyed on the ocean floor at the end of World War II.
