The Pacific War had the most powerful naval commander in American history — and his most important habit had nothing to do with tactics. Admiral Chester W. Nimitz kept a pistol range at his headquarters in Pearl Harbor and later in Guam, on the prescription of his fleet surgeon, who explained: "In shooting a pistol, one can think of nothing else but pulling the trigger." During the Battle of Midway — while American pilots were dying over Japanese carriers — Nimitz was on that range. This is the story of how one admiral's quiet ritual helped turn the tide of the entire Pacific War.
