The British Admirals
None
Admirals of the World
This work provides biographies of more than 500 men and women who have served as admiral, vice admiral, or rear admiral. While officers from the U.S., British, French and Japanese navies make up the bulk of the work, officers from 22 countries, including Australia, Canada, Germany, India, Italy, the Netherlands, Russia, and Spain, are also included. The main criterion for inclusion is that each person must have actively served in the rank of at least rear admiral, but not necessarily in enemy action. This effectively rules out people who were granted the rank on retirement, as a courtesy title or posthumously. The book also includes lists of admirals organized by nationality and by year of birth.

The Admirals
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.

British Admirals of the Fleet 1734-1995
"The wisdom of the 1995 Ministry of Defence decision to 'suspend' the rank of Admiral of the Fleet may be debatable but what is more certain is that it brought to an end an institution that had spanned three centuries. Over that period no more than 115 individuals attained the highest rank that the Royal Navy had to offer. The list begins with Sir John Norris and ends with Sir Benjamin Bathurst. The careers of this highly select yet diverse group make for fascinating reading. Each played his part in the Royal Navy's role as protector of British interests at home and across the world. As might be expected, many who held this rank are well known but a surprising number are not. Thanks to Dr He...
