The Battle of Leyte Gulf was the greatest naval engagement in
history. The battle was four separate actions, none of which were
fought in the Gulf itself, and the result was the destruction of
Japanese naval power in the Pacific. This book is a detailed and
comprehensive account of the fighting from both sides. It provides
the context of the battle, most obviously in terms of Japanese
calculations and the search for "a fitting place to die" and "the
chance to bloom as flowers of death." Using Japanese material never
previously noted in western accounts, H. P. Willmott provides new
perspectives on the unfolding of the battle and very deliberately
seeks to give readers a proper understanding of the importance of
this battle for American naval operations in the following month.
This careful interrogation of the accounts of "the last fleet
action" is a significant contribution to military history.
