Admiral Chester W. Nimitz looms large in the story of the U.S. Navy in World War II. He passed away in 1966 — sadly, just three years before the launching of the U.S. Naval Institute Oral History Program. Having missed the opportunity to secure the oral history of this giant of naval history, the Institute did the next best thing: gathered and compiled the oral histories of numerous officers, loved ones, friends, and family who had been on close terms with Nimitz. The multiple volumes in this series are an exhaustive resource — and a crucial one to any Nimitz student, scholar, or biographer.
Represented in this volume are: Nimitz, Rear Admiral Chester W. Jr. (Chet), USN (Ret.) (1915–2002), and his wife Joan (1912-2002); Nimitz''s son and daughter-in-law, interviewed in April 1969; 65 pages Lay, Catherine Nimitz (1914–2015), and her husband, Capt. James T. Lay Sr. (Jim), USN (Ret.) (1909–2001); Nimitz''s daughter and son-in-law; interviewed in February 1970; 123 pages Nimitz, Sister M. Aquinas, O.P. (1931–2006); Nimitz''s daughter, interviewed in June 1969; 42 pages Based on three interviews conducted by John T. Mason, Jr. Altogether, the volume contains 229 pages of interview transcript plus indices. The transcripts are copyright 1970 by the U. S. Naval Institute; the interviewees have placed no restrictions on their use.
