Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. From America's preeminent naval historian, the first full-length portrait in over fifty years of the man who won the war in the Pacific in World War TwoDL"destined," says Andrew Roberts, "to be the defining life of Chester Nimitz for a long time to come."Only days after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt tapped Chester W. Nimitz to assume command of the Pacific Fleet. Nimitz was not the mostsenior candidate available, and some, including his new boss, U.S. Navy Admiral Ernest J. King, considered him a "desk admiral," more suited to running a bureaucracy than a theater of war. Yet FDR's selection provednothing less than inspired. From the precarious early months of the war after December 7thA 1941 to the surrender ceremony in Tokyo Bay nearly four years later, Nimitz transformed the devastated and dispirited Pacific fleet into the most powerful and commanding naval force in history.From the start, the pressures on Nimitz were crushing. Facing demands from Washington to mount an early offensive, he had first to revive the depressed morale of the thousands of sailors,soldiers, and Marines who served under him. He had to corral independent-minded subordinatesDLincluding Admiral Bill "Bull" Halsey and General Holland "Howlin' Mad" SmithDLand keep them focused on sharedobjectives. He had to maintain a sometimes-fraught relationship with his Army counterpart Douglas MacArthur, and cope with his superiors, including the formidably prickly King and the inscrutable FDR. He had to navigate the expectations of a nation impatient for revenge and eventual victory. And of course, he also confronted a formidable and implacable enemy in the Imperial Japanese Navy, which, until the Battle of Midway, had the run of the Pacific.Craig Symonds' Nimitzat War reveals how the quiet man from the Hill Country of Texas eventually surmounted all of these challenges. Using Nimitz's headquartersDLthe eye of the hurricaneDLas his vantage point, Symonds covers allthe major campaigns in the Pacific from Guadalcanal to Okinawa. He captures Nimitz's composure, discipline, homespun wisdom, and most of all his uncanny sense of when to assert authority and when to pull back. In retrospect it is difficult to imagine anyone else accomplishing what Nimitz did. As Symonds' absorbing, dynamic, and authoritative portrait reveals, it required qualities of leadership exhibited by few other commanders in history, qualities that are enduringly and even poignantlyrelevant to our own moment.A This wartime biography of the Chester W. Nimitz, Commander-in-Chief of U.S. forces in the Pacific Ocean Area during World War II, gives a bird's eye view of the war from inside the theater headquarters of the man most responsible for eventual victory against Japan.
