书籍介绍
本书是美国海军五星上将，第二次世界大战中美国和日本海上战争的主要指挥者切斯特·威廉·尼米兹（1885-1966）的传记。尼米兹1905年毕业于美国安纳波里斯海军校。曾任潜艇艇长、潜艇大队大队长、“主力舰队”及“合众国舰队”助理参谋长、海军后备役军官训练团团长、潜艇部队长、后备役驱逐舰部队及巡洋舰长、战列舰大队大队长兼第7特混编队指挥官、海军航海局和海军人事局局长。珍珠港事件爆发后，于1941年12月31日任美国太平洋舰队总司令。翌年4月兼任太平洋战区总命令。为美军消灭日本海上力量，争取对日作战的最后胜利起了重要作用。
书中生动具体地描写了尼米兹的军事生涯，特别是对他在第二次世界大战中担任美军太平洋舰队总司令兼太平洋战区总司令期间，组织指挥的一系列重大海战，打败曾经猖獗一时的日本联合舰队做了详尽的描述。再现了第二次世界大战中美日两军在太平洋战场海战中的激烈争夺，以及双方的兵方部署、战略决策、指挥方式和作战经过，反映了尼米兹的作战指导和指挥艺术。

精彩摘录
- "第二天，1935年4月12日，“奥古斯塔”号上的水兵集合在甲板上。下午1点半，吉盖克斯上校正式接替尼米兹的工作。当尼米兹开始下舷梯的时候，他看见十二名低级军官穿着镶金边裤子的礼服，戴着三角帽，驾驶一只救生艇，准备把他送到尼米兹夫人和玛丽已经在等候他的“林肯总统”号班轮上，心里感到又惊又喜。尼米兹这位光荣的舰长在欢呼声中扶着舵柄，他们划着桨，把他送往班轮。 当救生艇划到班轮旁边，尼米兹上校坚持要送他的这些军官把艇停稳，上船去同他喝杯酒。他们在分别时，连续三次向他们离任的舰长欢呼。"
- "The White Fleet itself, after visiting New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and China,was to leave Manila early in December. Had Nimitz joined it, as he suspected he might be ordered to do, he would have encountered many of his Annapolisfriends, including Ensign Bill Halsey. But the White Fleet was not du"
- "On the desk also was a framed photo of General MacArthur, ... .To a friend Nimitz once confided that he kept the picture on his desk merely to remind himself not "to make Jovian pronouncements complete with thunderbolts.""
- "(Admiral Ghormley) He was found to have been suffering from abscessed teeth, possibly the main cause of his shortcomings as ComSoPac. With all his teeth drawn, he was in excellent health."
- "... If that didn't work, and the visitor deserved special consideration, Nimitz would lead him into the chief of staff's office and turn him over to Spruance. In this office few visitors lingered long, for it contained no chairs. Spruance rarely sat during the daytime and did all his paper work from"
- "The outing consisted mainly of a hike along the beach in bathing trunks - two miles, according to Admiral Spruance, who always went, five miles according to the recollections of the more tenderfooted officers - followed by a swim. Mell A. ("Pete") Peterson, then a commander, recalls grimly the resul"
- "... but Nimitz always returned to Makalapa Sunday morning and was in his office by 10:00 am, because, beginning at that time, and hour of classical music was beamed out from San Francisco. One could always tell which officers had especially pleased him during the week; Nimitz would plug them in on t"
- "Though Admiral Nimitz and Spruance thought alike, particularly in the matter of strategy, their personalities were decidedly different. Spruance was no less warmhearted than Nimiz, but he found it difficult to communicate with people. Mell Peterson called him "prim", and some junior officers referre"

印象中除了尼米兹，还有一个哈尔西上将也是勇猛的
伟大又平淡的一生，接近常人的一本传记
杰出的将军
一个传记系列里的一本 挺好的 最喜欢中途岛和珊瑚岛海战那几章 还有海图
作者的写作方式很有意思，夹杂了出身，成长，家庭等等的不会用流水账的方式来讲。
作战史部分可以作为二战太平洋战争的索引来看，尼米兹早就预测到潜艇在未来海战占有很重要的组成部分。有一定的工程思维，特别是不随便乱干预前线指挥官的指挥简直明智。但是尼米兹确实也对政治没啥兴趣，也能看出二战中美军陆军和海军之间的分歧，其实也和日军差不多。了解了不少有意思的片段，比如哈尔西的战败。
一个好的高级将领必须得是优秀的政治家。
阅读真是要看状态。许久之前入手的这本但当时翻了没几页就弃了，最近疫情在家正好没事干竟然补完了。比起公牛，我更欣赏老尼、斯普鲁恩斯这类儒将，尤其尼米兹。这个系列我还有老隆，正好评分最高也是我最感兴趣的两位都入了，也算幸运。
P.S：2005年版封面跟豆瓣上传的不同，仍沿用原版绿色底老尼半身像，可惜没办法改了。
小学四年级读的——话说我“读过”这本书的时候还没有豆瓣呢……
