| Publisher Description: From his boyhood days in the Hill Country of Central Texas to the apogee of his career as Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific, Chester W. Nimitz reflected the best qualities of his German-European heritage and the frontier society of his native land. These two Texas authors bring out the influences that profoundly shaped the man Nimitz from his boyhood days, through his years as a cadet and finally to the development of the officer that subordinates would come to love and respect. |
