Trent Hone, “Mastering the Art of Command: Admiral Chester Nimitz and Victory in the Pacific”

This episode was special because while we’ve previously done historical case studies and book discussions on the #BruteCast, we haven’t done one with a specific naval focus, and so our guest helped us rectify this. We were pleased to welcome author Trent Hone to talk about his newly released book Mastering the Art of Command: Admiral Chester Nimitz and Victory in the Pacific. The book is a detailed examination of Nimitz’s leadership during World War II, describing how he used his talents to help the #Pacific Fleet recover from the trauma of Pearl Harbor, win crucial victories against the forces of Imperial Japan, and then seize the initiative in the Pacific. Once Nimitz’s forces held the initiative, they maintained it through an offensive campaign of unparalleled speed that overcame Japanese defenses and created the conditions for victory.
