The last great naval battle of World War II, Leyte Gulf also is
remembered as the biggest naval battle ever fought anywhere, and
this book has been called the best account of it ever written.
First published in hardcover on the battle's fiftieth anniversary
in 1994 and drawing on materials not previously available, it
blends history with human drama to give a real sense of what
happened, despite the mammoth scope of the battle. Every facet of
naval warfare was involved in the struggle that engaged some two
hundred thousand men and 282 American, Japanese, and Australian
ships over more than a hundred thousand square miles of sea. Cutler
captures the milieu, analyzes the strategy and tactics employed,
and re-creates the experiences of the participants, from seaman to
admiral, both Japanese and American. It is a story replete with
awe-inspiring heroism, failed intelligence, flawed strategy,
brilliant deception, great controversies, and a cast of characters
with names like Halsey, Nimitz, Ozawa, and MacArthur. Such an
exciting and revealing account of the battle is unlikely to be
equalled by future writers.
