Description
The Admirals: Nimitz, Halsey, Leahy, and King--The Five-Star Admirals Who Won the War at Sea The story of the US Navy's triumph in World War II is one of four exceptional individuals who rose to the highest rank of Admiral of the Fleet. William Leahy, Ernest King, Chester Nimitz, and William Halsey were the best and brightest the navy produced, leading the country to victory through innovative tactics and strategic partnerships. Drawing on primary sources such as journals and ship logs, historian Walter R. Borneman brings this pivotal moment in history to life. The book reveals how these four admirals revolutionized naval warfare with submarines and aircraft carriers, and worked together to ensure the Axis fleets were defeated at sea. Through their stories, Borneman sheds light on a crucial chapter in US history, one that shaped the country's position as the world's greatest fleet.
