Called a great book worthy of a great man, this definitive biography of the commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet in World War II, first published in 1976 and now available in paperback for the first time, continues to be considered the best book ever written about Adm. Chester W. Nimitz. Highly respected by both the civilian and naval communities, Nimitz was sometimes overshadowed by more colorful warriors such as MacArthur and Halsey. Potter's lively and authoritative style fleshes out show more Admiral Nimitz's personality to help readers appreciate the contributions he made as the principal archit show lessTags

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.
