Graduating from the Naval Academy in 1908, he subsequently advanced through the ranks to four-star admiral during World War II. this biography, based on Admiral Kinkaid's substantial collection of personal and official papers, plus those of many contemporary officers, as well as interviews and correspondence with former shipmates, covers all aspects of the admiral's career.

Following the invasion of the Philippines in October 1944, Admiral Kinkaid's naval career reached its apogee with the victory of his forces in the Surigao Straits engagement during the decisive Battle for Leyte Gulf.
