Battleship Commander: The Life of Vice Admiral Willis A. Lee Jr., authored by Paul Stillwell and published by the Naval Institute Press, has been awarded the John Lyman Book Award in the category of “Naval and Maritime Biography and Autobiography.”

Presented each year by the North American Society for Oceanic History, the John Lyman Book Awards recognize excellence in the publication of books that make significant contributions to the study and understanding of maritime and naval history.

Battlefield Commander, which was excerpted in Naval History (April, pp. 52–57), is the first biography of Admiral Willis A. Lee Jr., who played a key role during World War II in the Pacific.
