Description:

This is not a Book by Craig L. Symonds nor is it affliated with them. It is an independent Publication by Maria R. Holmes that summaries their Book in Details.

"Craig Symonds' ability to put the reader in the shoes of the admiral who masterminded the US Pacific Fleet's response to Pearl Harbor is truly remarkable. In his brilliant pen portraits of Nimitz's comrades (and occasional rivals), Symonds delivers a masterclass in the influence of character on

decision-making. Deeply researched, extremely well-written, and often genuinely exciting, this is destined to be the defining life of Chester Nimitz for a long time to come." -- Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill: Walking with Destiny

"This excellent book is the inspiring story of a great American leader, who rebuilt a broken fleet and led it to victory against a formidable foe, through four years of war without a major defeat Craig Symonds has done it with grace and a large spirit. In World War II, the United States Navy had a

typically understated flag hoist for such an achievement: Baker Zebra (now Bravo Zulu): Well Done." -- David Hackett Fischer, author of Albion's Seed and Washington's Crossing, winner of the Pulitzer Prize

"A brilliant and balanced account of how Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz led the greatest naval campaign in history. Now often overlooked, Nimitz was the only American World War II theater commander―even compared to Eisenhower and MacArthur―who won great victories when fighting outnumbered or merely

at parity. This deeply researched and highly readable book offers a timeless textbook on high command excellence." -- Richard B. Frank, author of Tower of Skulls: A History of the Asia-Pacific War: July 1937-May 1942
