Battle of Surigao Strait

Surigao Strait in the Philippine Islands was the site of a significant naval battle during the Battle of Leyte Gulf, but the chaos of night combat and limited survivor accounts have led to confusing versions of events. Anthony P. Tully integrates original documentary sources, newly discovered testimonies, and detailed analysis of U.S. Navy reports to offer a revised and more precise account of the engagement. This work provides an important historical correction, challenging previous narratives of the battle.
