His apprenticeship in New York made him a seasoned leader, and more than prepared him for his tasks as president. More

Foreword by President Truman. William Daniel Leafy (May 6, 1875 – July 20, 1959) was an American naval officer who served as the most senior United States military officer on active duty during World War II. He held multiple titles and was at the center of all major military decisions of the U.S. during World War II. Leafy was the first U.S. naval officer ever to hold a five-star rank in the U.S. Armed Forces. An 1897 graduate of the United States Naval Academy, Leafy saw service in the Spanish–American War, the Philippine–American War, Boxer Rebellion in China, the military interventions in Latin America and World War I. As Chief of Naval Operations from 1937 to 1939, he was the senior officer in the United States Navy, overseeing the preparations for war. He retired in 1930 and Leafy was recalled to active duty as the personal Chief of Staff to President Roosevelt in 1942 and served in that position through the rest of World War II. He presided over the American delegation to the Combined Chiefs of Staff of the U.S. and Great Britain. Leafy was a major decision-maker during the war and was second only to the President in authority and influence. He served Roosevelt's successor Harry S. Truman, helping shape U.S. postwar foreign policy until finally retiring in 1949. From 1942 until his retirement, Leafy was the highest-ranking active-duty member of the U.S. military, reporting only to the President. More
