{"product_id":"leyte-gulf-1944-bernard-ireland-9781841769783","title":"Leyte Gulf 1944: The World's Greatest Sea Battle","description":"Leyte Gulf was a key victory for the United States during World War II (1939-1945): its scale dwarfed previous sea conflicts and its result created an opportunity for the US forces to invade the Philippines. Four different battles - Leyte, Samar, Cape Enga o and the Surigao Strait - occurred almost simultaneously as part of a Japanese plan to claim a Trafalgar-style victory over US forces. Yet they were defeated in the battles on the surface, under the sea and in the air. This highly-accessible book describes the conflict's interweaving battles and the personalities of the commanders involved in what has been called 'the greatest sea battle of all'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernard Ireland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841769789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841769783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/28\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 7.28w x 0.36d","brand":"Bernard Ireland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44074931781887,"sku":"9781841769783","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_643a41d2-6d1d-4934-843e-826f539f599d.jpg?v=1685456616","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leyte-gulf-1944-bernard-ireland-9781841769783","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
