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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Indiana Univ Pr","offers":[{"title":"Battle of Leyte Gulf: The Last Fleet Action | H P Willmott | Hardcover | 9780253345288 | Used: Very Good | Military History 1740841","offer_id":50891512512770,"sku":"1740841","price":26.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71sBuAlvNRL.jpg?v=1793124721","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/battle-of-leyte-gulf-the-last-fleet-action","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
