Only four men in American history have been promoted to the five-star rank of Admiral of the Fleet: William Leahy, Ernest King, Chester Nimitz, and William Halsey. These four men were the best and the brightest the navy produced, and together they led the U.S. Navy to victory in World War II, establishing the United States as the world's greatest fleet. In The Admirals, award-winning historian Walter R. Borneman tells their story in full detail for the first time.

I have read several readers' comments that highlight the merits of The Admirals so I will simply say that this book has given me a greater understanding and appreciation of the men who, despite many obstacles both within the U. S. military and elsewhere, persisted in charting the course of victory in the Central Pacific sooner rather than later. My parents and older siblings lived through the Japanese occupation of the U. S. territory of Guam. My paternal grandmother died on the way to the Manenggon Concentration Camp while her husband languished as a POW in Kobe, Japan. I enjoyed listening to the audiobook version.

How does one react to a story as universal as is portrayed in this one -- the tragic loss of a loved one. So few, I dare say none, will walk away after reading this heart-rending story unmoved. For it did just that and more. I'm a Guamanian who understands Chamoru and so the fact that the writer has chosen to use a few Chamoru words and places has given her story an extra special meaning for me.
