Book descriptionHaving recently read a biography of Chester Nimitzs World War II Army counterpoint Dwight Eisenhower, I came into this expecting considerably more than what was delivered, and in this case I cant fault the subject.Nimitz is what happens when a figure of great historical significance entrusts his story to a handpicked historian and instructor from the Naval Academy in Annapolis: a biography that reads like a textbook with about as much sizzle and controversy.To this baby-boomer, Nimitz is one of the least-heralded heroes of World War II. In my estimation, the European theater has received the bulk of the attention given to the war and its constituents, considerably more than the Pacific theater. I dont know if thats because of the proximity to the United States, the personalities involved or the fact that, while you can visit Normandy and the scenes of the D-Day Invasion, its a little more difficult (and a lot less visually interesting) to see where the Battle of the Midway took place.Whatever the reasons, I viewed this as a great opportunity to better inform myself on the subject and subjects involved.While author E.B. Potter (with whom Nimitz wrote Sea Power, considered among the definitive tomes ever written on the subject) does a commendable job of chronologically leading us through the various stages and machinations of Nimitzs personal history as well as the events that transpired from December 7, 1941 forward, he does so with little character or flair for the dramatic which, given the subject, should have been never-ending. Far from critical of almost anything Nimitz contemplated or did, Potter makes Nimitz appear virtually faultless, not only in his personal life but in his administration and conduct of the Pacific Fleet, the most powerful naval force in the world that was very nearly defeated in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. At least after reading 500 pages on Eisenhower I know that he liked to golf, he rarely met a cocktail he didnt like and that he could kick anybodys ass in a game of cards. Powers rarely delves with any depth or insight into Nimitzs personal life, other than to say that he liked long walks and that he and his wife had some special kind of marriage than enabled them to endure great periods of time away from each other, not to mention uncertainty. Nimitz opposed women in the service, though the genesis of this opposition is unclear and unexplored. Apparently he wasnt very religious, though were not told why. And did he have any feelings about fighting alongside blacks--and even Japanese Americans? If so, we wouldnt know it through Potters narrowly-focused lens.What did his contemporaries really think of him as a leader, strategist, warrior? What did his children really think of him as a father?If not for Nimitzs daily correspondence with his wife, this book couldve been considerably shorter and no less interesting.Also, while it does include a number of very static drawings and maps, theres not a single photograph of the man most credit more than others for defeating Japan, or the horrifying war he conducted from afar. (Until the very end when he relocated to Guam, he was never allowed to get any closer to the actual fighting than Pearl Harbor and, in fact, never saw any combat.) Equally disturbing was Potters assumption that his readers would know every classification of boat and ship and their purposes. Whats the difference between a battleship and a destroyer and carrier? What are their capacities and capabilities? Here again, a few photos couldve provided some much-needed context.I really wish I could speak more glowingly about Nimitz, but its just too clinical. As it stands, this is a two-star story about a five-star admiral. At ease.Nimitz by E.B. Potter torrent iBooks djvu no registration read
