From Baird Maritime:
Probably the best known Admirals in history since Drake, Nelson and Cochrane, America's World War II Admirals Halsey, Nimitz, McCain, Mitscher, Burke, Fletcher, Hart, Hewitt, King, Kincaid, Sprague, Spruance and Turner, among others, commanded the largest battle fleets ever.
While the US Navy was highly active in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, most of the action described here occurred in the Pacific.
This is a big, sweeping history. It looks closely at the personalities and the personal action of a long list of Admirals and the Generals, particularly MacArthur, with whom they related. It is full of delicious anecdotes.
The author is a skilful journalist. His anecdotes and their resulting dialogue bring these larger-than-life men into very clear focus.
A brilliant history
