Nimitz's "Graybook" Now Online

From the Feb. 24, 2014, National Post "From the attack on Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima: Declassified Second World War diary reveals U.S. battle strategy." by Michelle R. Smith, AP.

The U.S. Naval War College released the operational diary of Pacific Commander Admiral Chester W. Nimitz.

The 4,000 page, multi volume diary includes a running summary of every day of the war and was compiled by his staff. This way, the admiral could keep up with all facets of the war.

It is called "Nimitz's Graybook" because of the gray material it was bound in. It begins on December 7, 1941 with the statement, "The war opened with the attack of Japanese aircraft on Oahu" and continues on to August 31, 1945.
