«In this book, Francisco Piedade Vaz, PhD, an officer in the Portuguese Navy, has made an independent and careful investigation into Chester Nimitz’s life and career, making very effective use of the very wide and deep range of archival sources, oral histories, and published materials available. His insightful analysis grasps the basic elements of Nimitz’s success as a naval commander and brings out the fundamental reasons that make him an enduring model of leadership.»
