Regarded as the standard biography of World War II naval hero Adm. Raymond A. Spruance, this work is now available in trade paperback for the first time. Spruance is one of the towering figures in American naval history. Though reserved and cerebral personality did not make "good copy" for correspondents , yet Thomas Buell has succeeded in evoking his compelling nature in this brilliant biography, which won the Alfred Thayer Mahan Award for Literary Achievement the year of its publication.
