<DIV><P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><I>How They Won the War in the Pacific</I> provides a fascinating look at Naval Admiral Chester W. Nimitz and his subordinate leaders?fighting men under stress?and the relationship of fighting admirals to their top leaders and each other. ?The Patton of the Pacific,” Bull Halsey could win a battle; ascetic and cultivated Raymond Spruance could win a campaign; but Chester W. Nimitz, the quiet but dauntless battler from the banks of the Pedernales River, could win a war. And the way he did win that war in the Pacific is the center of this excellent and absorbing biography of naval operations and of men in command relationships.</p></DIV>
