From Baird Maritime:

Without a doubt one of the best warrior biographies ever. This is a paperback reprint of a classic first published in 1976.

Admiral Chester Nimitz was seemingly born and thoroughly educated and trained for his role as America’s Commander in Chief Pacific during World War II – almost miraculously so.

A thorough gentlemen and a classic humanist, Nimitz is brilliantly brought to life by Professor Potter. While America’s success in the Pacific War was never seriously in doubt, there can be no argument that Nimitz was the most important cog in a mighty war machine.

America’s pre-war leaders were well aware for a long time that war with Japan was likely. This ensured that leaders in waiting, such as Nimitz, were extra-ordinarily well prepared. All this is clearly explained in the book as is Admiral Nimitz’ post war wind down.

An excellent text book of highly effective leadership, strategy and, above all, organisation. Nimitz was a rare genius and this fine work does him justice in a delightfully personal manner.
