Abstract
Annotated Bibliography:
This book talks about the Surigao Strait in the Philippine Islands that was in the scene of a major battleship duel during the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Because the battle was fought at night and had few survivors on the Japanese side, the events of that naval engagement have been passed down in garbled accounts. The author pulls together all of the existing documentary material, including newly discovered accounts and a careful analysis of U.S. The author also was able to collects a number of previously unpublished photographs and charts that bring a fresh perspective to the battle.
