Product Information

By October 1944, the US Navy had driven the devastated Japanese fleet across the far Pacific. But with each defeat, Japanese commanders became even more determined to destroy the Americans in a final decisive battle. In Storm Over Leyte, acclaimed historian John Prados gives readers an unprecedented look at both sides of this titanic naval clash. Drawing upon a wealth of untapped sources Prados offers up a masterful narrative that breaks new ground in our understanding of the greatest naval clash in history.

Reviews
Praise for Storm Over Leyte "A book every serious World War II student will want." --Kirkus "The strongest part of the book is Prados's description of the U.S. intelligence apparatus that meticulously tracked the Japanese military's communications, leveraging a small army of brilliant linguists, radio operators, cryptologists, and analysts. The work is exceedingly balanced and provides detailed portraits of the personalities of the Japanese commanders, their understanding of events, and their decision-making processes." --Publishers Weekly "Aircraft on suicide missions, ignoring intelligence, unreliable sources--9/11?  No, the battle of Leyte, history's greatest naval fight. In Storm Over Leyte , premiere military historian John Prados, armed with reams of newly uncovered documents, provides a box-seat view of both sides of the infamous conflict. And along the way, he also shows that intelligence failures began long before 9/11." --James Bamford, Author of The Shadow Factory: The Ultra-Secret NSA from 9/11 to the Eavesdropping on America   "Once again, John Prados has given us an essential study of events we thought we knew well, blending dynamic narration with insight and fine analysis to create the best study of this critical battle yet." --Theodore F. Cook, PhD, Coauthor of Japan at War: An Oral History, Praise for Islands of Destiny   "Using new sources, especially from the Japanese side, he offers a fresh and compelling account of the true turning point of the Pacific War."--Evan Thomas, New York Times Bestselling Author o f Ike's Bluff and Sea of Thunder   "Authoritative... Islands of Destiny serves as a powerful reminder of the geography, the strategy, and the ferocity of the Solomons campaign."-- The Wall Street Journal   "With [Prados'] rich depths and surprising perspectives, Islands of Destiny is essential reading for anyone interested in the Pacific War."-- World War II magazine   "Prados provides an accessible history that avoids excessive jargon. Even casual readers of World War II history will find it engaging...A well-crafted addition to the canon of World War II military histories."-- Kirkus Reviews, Praise for Storm Over Leyte "A book every serious World War II student will want." --Kirkus "The strongest part of the book is Prados's description of the U.S. intelligence apparatus that meticulously tracked the Japanese military's communications, leveraging a small army of brilliant linguists, radio operators, cryptologists, and analysts. The work is exceedingly balanced and provides detailed portraits of the personalities of the Japanese commanders, their understanding of events, and their decision-making processes." --Publishers Weekly "A narrative filled with new information, Storm Over Leyte clears new ground, reminding us that there were two sides in the Pacific War. John Prados shows us how U.S. and Japanese intelligence decisions influenced the Battle of Leyte Gulf, allowing the Japanese to accomplish their naval goals. Burrowing into hitherto unknown intelligence reports, Prados has provided readers with an unprecedented look at the war within the war in the Pacific Campaign. This is a must read."--Mark Perry, Author of The Most Dangerous Man in America: The Making of Douglas MacArthur "Aircraft on suicide missions, ignoring intelligence, unreliable sources--9/11? No, the battle of Leyte, history's greatest naval fight. In Storm Over Leyte , premiere military historian John Prados, armed with reams of newly uncovered documents, provides a box-seat view of both sides of the infamous conflict. And along the way, he also shows that intelligence failures began long before 9/11."--James Bamford, Author of The Shadow Factory: The Ultra-Secret NSA from 9/11 to the Eavesdropping on America "Once again, John Prados has given us an essential study of events we thought we knew well, blending dynamic narration with insight and fine analysis to create the best study of this critical battle yet."--Theodore F. Cook, PhD, Coauthor of Japan at War: An Oral History "Prados constructs battle narratives that are fluid, dramatic, and engaging."-- Naval History
