Naval Institute Press, 1987. Hard Cover. Like New/Like New. Signed by author. Minimal shelf wear."The importance of this work and the man it concerns is perhaps best described in the book's opening sentence: "In World War II, Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz commanded thousands of ships and aircraft and millions of men, amounting to more military power than had been wielded by all the commanders in all previous wars." Although it was during World War II that Admiral Nimitz gained national prominence, this biography fully covers his childhood in Texas, his experience as a midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy, his life as husband and father, his early career in the Navy from ensign to flag rank, and his postwar appointments as Chief of Naval Operations and representative of the United Nations. Both the text and illustrations depict the admiral in conference and personal discussion with such prominent naval personalities as Admirals William F. Halsey, Ernest J. King, Raymond Spruance, Husband Kimmel, and Thomas Kinkaid. The pages also reflect Nimitz's meetings and correspondence with such men as General Douglas MacArthur, Navy Secretary James Forrestal, and Presidents Roosevelt and Truman. Because his parents were poor, young Chester had little prospect of pursuing his education beyond high school, but his prospects were changed by a chance encounter with two fresh-caught graduates of the U.S. Military Academy. Inspired by what he saw, Chester applied to his congressman for an appointment to West Point. Informed that all appointments to the Military Academy had been filled, he accepted one to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, although he had never so much as heard of the institution or the town. In 1905 he graduated seventh in his class and was ready to embark upon one of the most illustrious naval careers in history. Just two years later his career was endangered when Ensign Nimitz, after assuming command of the destroyer Decatur, ran her aground on a mudbank. In the investigation that followed, the young officer stood a court-martial and was convicted. In subsequent years he built the submarine base at Pearl Harbor, founded one of the first Naval Reserve Officers' Training Corps units, commanded the flagship of the Asiatic Fleet,a nd was appointed commander of Battleship Division One. At the outbreak of World War II, he was Chief of the Bureau of Navigation. Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt and Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox chose Nimitz to be Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet. (more information)
