Requirements: PDF Reader, 40 MB
Overview: Leyte Gulf was a key victory for the United States: its scale dwarfed previous sea conflicts and its outcome created an opportunity for the US forces to invade the Philippines. Four different battles – Leyte, Samar, Cape Engano and the Suriago Strait – occurred almost simultaneously as past of a Japanese plan to claim a Trafalgar-style victory over the US forces. Yet they were defeated in the battles on the surface, under the sea, and in the air. This highly accessible book describes the conflict’s interweaving battles and the personalities of the commanders involved in what has been called ‘the greatest sea battle of all’. This is book 163 in Osprey’s Campaign Series.
