A terrific book!
In my opinion this is a terrific book, that gives credit to a remarkable admiral. The author's coverage of Admiral Nimitz's personal and military life was superb. If you are navy buff or World War II historian then I highly recommend this book. ( )

Fantastic book on one of the perennial figures on the U.S. Navy. Goes into significant detail on leadership decisions during the Pacific War, and provides an excellent overview of the pre-war, war, and post-war periods and Admiral Nimitz's contributions. ( )
