Updated July 25 at 9:12 pm: This book has sold.


A definitive biography of Admiral Chester W. Nimitz by E.B. Potter, in a stunning Easton Press limited edition. Accented in 22kt gold, printed on archival paper with gilded edges, smyth sewing, and concealed muslin joints. Bound in full leather with hubbed spines.

Provides a comprehensive account of Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet during World War II. Potter offers an engaging narrative of Nimitz's strategic genius and contributions to Japan's defeat.

Highly respected by both civilian and naval communities, Nimitz was often overshadowed by figures like MacArthur and Halsey. Potter's lively style highlights Nimitz's key role following Pearl Harbor, his promotion to Fleet Admiral, and his leadership in battles such as Coral Sea and Midway.

Covering his life from a poverty-stricken childhood to postwar roles as Chief of Naval Operations and UN mediator, the book also reveals Nimitz's opinions of key figures like Halsey, Kimmel, King, Spruance, MacArthur, Forrestal, Roosevelt, and Truman.
