Summary: The Greatest Naval Battle of All Time
Review: LEYTE is the story of what many consider to be the greatest naval battle of all time and it is also a tale which focuses on some of the most famous personalities of World War II such as MacArthur, Nimitz, Halsey, Stillwell, Arnold and Lemay.Morison had a small but capable staff assisting him in his research efforts for this book as well as the other volumes in the series. One of his staff members actually sailed up to Leyte in Vice Admiral Wilkinson's flagship. In 1950 Morison himself visited Japan and discussed the Battle for Leyte Gulf with leading Japanese participants. LEYTE is one of the most important studies in the HISTORY OF UNITED STATES NAVAL OPERATIONS IN WORLD WAR II.

Summary: Leyte June 1944-January 1945
Review: Morison was the official historian of the USN during WWII. He experienced the action as it was happening and therefore brings a unique perspective to the acccount. It is presented in a highly readable manner and is exhaustive in detail. Well worth the time and expense.
