A New York Times Bestseller.Journalist and historian Evan Thomas takes us inside the naval war of 1941-1945 in the South Pacific in a way that blends the best of military and cultural history and riveting narrative drama. He follows four men throughout: Admiral Halsey, American fleet commander; Admiral Kurita, Japanese battleship commander; Admiral Ugaki, commander of the kamikazes; and Commander Ernest Evans, who led his destroyer on the last great charge in history's last great naval battle. "Whenever Evan Thomas turns on his smarts and energy, history makes more sense." - Ben Bradlee
