ebooks Daily Life during the Salem Witch Trials by K. David Goss Ph.D. in History

Description

How history's only five-star admirals triumphed in World War II and made the United States the world's dominant sea power. Only four men in American history have been promoted to the five-star rank of Admiral of the Fleet: William Leahy; Ernest King; Chester Nimitz; and William Halsey. These four men were the best and the brightest the navy produced; and together they led the U.S. navy to victory in World War II; establishing the United States as the world's greatest fleet. In THE ADMIRALS; award-winning historian Walter R. Borneman tells their story in full detail for the first time. Drawing upon journals; ship logs; and other primary sources; he brings an incredible historical moment to life; showing us how the four admirals revolutionized naval warfare forever with submarines and aircraft carriers; and how these men-who were both friends and rivals-worked together to ensure that the Axis fleets lay destroyed on the ocean floor at the end of World War II.
