The Battle of Leyte Gulf: The Greatest Naval Battle in History : The Dramatic Full History : 23-26 October 1944 - Softcover
Synopsis
Two hundred and eighty-two ships, some of them the largest and most powerful ever built...nearly 200,000 men, many sent to the bottom of the sea...a cast of characters that included MacArthur, Roosevelt, Halsey, and Nimitz...more than 100,000 square miles of fire and blood...they all came together in one unique battle, the singular turning point in the tide of WWII and in the history of warfare. Now, using materials previously unavailable, award-winning author Thomas J. Cutler captures the awe-inspiring heroism, the flawed strategies, the brilliant deception, and the brutal reality of the greatest naval battle of all time. From seaman to admiral, from aerial to surface to submarine combat, every facet, every weapon, every controversy -- on both sides of the firing line -- explodes off the page in this impressive account of the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
