So Much We Didn't Know About WWII. A revealing insight into what transpired at the highest levels of government, through the histories of the 4 Fleet Admirals. How their experiences from the Naval Academy through subsequent postings formed their characters, friendships and command relationships.

The Admirals. A book for anyone interested in the Navy; it’s people, customs and equipment. Tales from the sea of the men and women who sacrificed all to keep us free.

A fascinating journey. I found this book to be absolutely riveting. I am a voracious reader of World War II history and this book satisfied me in a very unique way. Assembled in a single volume was a wonderful account of the four 5 star admirals in World War II revealing heretofore unknown facts to me. Their interaction with each other was fascinating. Especially Admiral Leahy's close relationship with FDR. I highly recommend this as a great read!

Fascinating and colorful analysis of leadership diversity. Well-written and thoroughly researched, this book looks at the interwoven lives and careers of four of the greatest Naval officers the US has ever produced. Their diverse personalities and individual styles highlight different leadership traits which made them successful in the 20TH Century and which are still relevant in the 21ST. If you’re looking for an in-depth look at the battles which turned the tide in the Pacific, this isn’t the book. But if you are interested in a intimate portrait of the senior commanders, you’d be hard-pressed to do better than The Admirals.

A view from the top. I thought his book was excellent. It uses the rank of Fleet Admiral as the starting point. We go back from childhood through flashes of their careers, centering on significant moments in World, service, or National events. How their paths crossed, and the influence they had upon others and how people and places had influenced them. Without realizing it, we become intimate and tied to the lives and careers of these men. So as events affect them, we also feel emotionally invested. It is a very good book, and views our country's history in the majority of the 20th Century through the perspective of these 4 Admirals. Well done, and a great companion book for any studies of the Navy, of WWII, of leadership, of politics, of ethics, of government, and of courage. I highly recommend this book.
