{"product_id":"book-g88s","title":"Nimitz at War","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom America's preeminent naval historian, the first full-length portrait in over fifty years of the man who won the war in the Pacific in World War Two.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly days after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt tapped Chester W. Nimitz to assume command of the Pacific Fleet. Nimitz transformed the devastated and dispirited Pacific fleet into the most powerful and commanding naval force in history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFacing demands from Washington to mount an early offensive, he had first to revive the depressed morale of the thousands of sailors, soldiers, and Marines who served under him. And of course, he also confronted a formidable and implacable enemy in the Imperial Japanese Navy, which, until the Battle of Midway, had the run of the Pacific.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCraig Symonds's \u003ci\u003eNimitz at War\u003c\/i\u003e captures Nimitz's composure, discipline, homespun wisdom, and most of all his uncanny sense of when to assert authority and when to pull back. As Symonds's absorbing, dynamic, and authoritative portrait reveals, it required qualities of leadership exhibited by few other commanders in history, qualities that are enduringly and even poignantly relevant to our own moment.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49361574002992,"sku":"BDg88s","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49361574068528,"sku":"ZEg88s","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49361574166832,"sku":"ZMg88s","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/g88s-Square-cover.jpg?v=1780160892","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-g88s","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
