War in the Pacific - The Five Star Admirals who Engineered America's Great Victory

Only four U.S. Admirals have ever held the rank of 5 stars. Together, Admirals Leahy, King, Nimitz and Halsey H 500 - rc feb '16 (2)forged a partnership that was largely responsible for the final defeat of Japan in WW II. February 24, marks the birth date of perhaps the greatest of them all, Chester W. Nimitz who orchestrated most of the key decisions of the war in the Pacific. Walter Borneman's, "The Admiral's" is a classic of naval history and vividly portrays their personalities, harrowing decision making and amazing leadership qualities.
