The Admirals explains to the story of how history's only five-star admirals triumphed in World Conflict II and made the United States the world's prominent sea power. Only four men in American history have been marketed to the five-star get ranking of Admiral of the Fleet: William Leahy, Ernest Ruler, Chester Nimitz, and William Halsey. These four men were the best and the brightest the navy produced, and mutually they led the U.S. Navy to win in World Conflict II, establishing the United States as the world's biggest fleet. In The Admirals, award-winning historian Walter R. Borneman explains to their story in full detail for the first time. Drawing upon journals, ship logs, and other main options, he brings an incredible historical moment to life, showing us how the four admirals revolutionized naval warfare permanently with submarines and airplane carriers, and how these men - who had been both friends and rivals - worked mutually to ensure that the Axis fleets lay down destroyed on the sea floor by the end of World Conflict II.
