How They Won the War in the Pacific
This meticulous study is a concentrated look at naval admiral Chester W. Nimitz and his
subordinate leaders—military men under stress—and the relationship of fighting admirals to
their top leaders and one another. Bull Halsey, “the Patton of the Pacific,” could win a battle;
ascetic and cultivated Raymond Spruance could win a campaign; but Chester W. Nimitz, the
quiet but dauntless battler from the banks of the Pedernales River, could win a war. And the
way he did win that war in the Pacific is the center of this excellent and absorbing biography
of naval operations and of men in command relationships.How They Won the War in the
Pacific covers many leaders, including the top fighting ones afloat and ashore, and it shows
Admiral Nimitz as history will record him—as the wise, calm tower of strength in adversity
and success, the principal architect of victory in the Pacific during World War II.
