Book Description
Typed, signed note dated March 5, 1940 envelope America James Otto Richardson (born September 18, 1878; died May 2, 1974) was an admiral in the United States Navy who served until 1942. At the time of his correspondence with LMU in March 1940, Richardson was Commander in Chief, Pacific Fleet (CINCPAC). In his book The Final Secret of Pearl Harbor, John Flynn states that Richardson was one of the Navy's foremost figures. Since his earliest days...he had made the study of Japanese warfare his life work. He was beyond question the Navy's outstanding authority on Pacific naval warfare and Japanese strategy. Richardson protested against the redeployment of the fleet forward from San Francisco to Pearl Harbor, believing that a forward defense was neither practical or useful, and that the Pacific Fleet would be the logical first target in the event of war with Japan. He was subsequently relieved of command in February 1941 and replaced by Admiral Husband E. Kimmel. Photo retrieved from Wikipedia on July 7, 2012.

The Official Chronology of the U.S. Navy in World War II
Author: Robert J CressmanPublisher: Naval Institute Press
ISBN: 1682471543
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 838
Book Description
Ten years after the close of World War II, the U.S. Navy published a chronology of its operations in the war. Long out of print, the work focused on what were then defined as critical and decisive events. It ignored a multitude of combat actions as well as the loss or damage of many types of U.S. ships and craft—particularly auxiliaries, amphibious ships, and district craft—and entirely omitted the U.S. submarine campaign against Japanese shipping, This greatly expanded and updated study, now available in paperback with an index, goes far beyond the original work, drawing on information from more than forty additional years of historical research and writing. Massive, but well organized, it addresses operational aspects of the U.S. Navy’s war in every theater.
Nimitz
Author: E.B. PotterPublisher: Naval Institute Press

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 546
Book Description
Called a great book worthy of a great man, this definitive biography of the commander in chief of the Pacific Fleet in World War II, first published in 1976 and now available in paperback for the first time, continues to be considered the best book ever written about Adm. Chester W. Nimitz. Highly respected by both the civilian and naval communities, Nimitz was sometimes overshadowed by more colorful warriors such as MacArthur and Halsey. Potter's lively and authoritative style fleshes out Admiral Nimitz's personality to help readers appreciate the contributions he made as the principal architect of Japan's defeat. The book covers his full life, from a poverty-stricken childhood to postwar appointments as Chief of Naval Operations and U.N. mediator. It candidly reveals Nimitz's opinions of Halsey, Kimmel, King, Spruance, MacArthur, Forrestal, Roosevelt, and Truman.
From Hot War to Cold

Languages : en
Pages : 894
Book Description
This book discusses the role of the U.S. Navy within the country's national security structure during the first decade of the Cold War from the perspective of the service's senior uniformed officer, the Chief of Naval Operations, and his staff. It examines a variety of important issues of the period, including the Army-Navy fight over unification that led to the creation of the National Security Act of 1947, the early postwar fighting in China between the Nationalists and the Communists, the formation of NATO, the outbreak of the Korean War, the decision of the Eisenhower Administration not to intervene in the Viet Minh troops' siege of the French garrison at Dien Bien Phu, and the initiation of the Eisenhower "New Look" defense policy. The author relies upon information obtained from a wide range of primary sources and personal interviews with important, senior Navy and Army officers. The result is a book that provides the reader with a new way of looking at these pivotal events.
