"This book is a collection of 24 essays by notable historians -- and some participants who are long-departed -- on various aspects and controversies of the battle, offering new perspectives and insight." --Seapower "The Naval Institute Press, via the editorship and authorship of naval officer and historian Thomas Cutler, has brought another fine anthology not just to students and consumers of naval history, but other audiences as well. It is a story that really never grows old." --The Strategy Bridge "An outstanding contribution to the historiography on this subject. This anthology has added significantly to the ongoing debate about this landmark, but controversial battle. It provides a much better understanding of not only what happened and what might have been at Leyte Gulf in October 1944, but also why. Cutler''s The Battle of Leyte Gulf at 75: A Retrospective will take pride of place alongside his earlier 1994 publication on the bookshelf of any serious student or scholar of World War II in the Pacific." --Naval Historical Foundation "Thomas Cutler''s edited collection on the Battle of Leyte Gulf is not only timely given the seventy-fifth anniversary of the engagement, but is also a highly significant addition to the historiography of the battle.


Cutler is clear in his assessment of the battle as having global historical implications, since it was the last major naval battle in world history. The collection is an excellent way by which both specialists and generalists can obtain an outstanding view of the debates about the conduct of the battle, as well as the general direction of its historiography. This collection will be a valuable addition to the battle''s historiography." --The Journal of Military History "Cutler''s compendium is a valuable contribution to the literature on Leyte Gulf." --Warship " The Battle of Leyte Gulf at 75 is a valuable read for anyone with an interest in naval history, and particularly those concerned with the Pacific War." --StrategyPage "A solid work of naval history and has deepened our understanding of this complex naval battle." --Global Maritime History " The Battle of Leyte Gulf at 75 is an extremely informative, yet palatable read that students of naval history will find intellectually satisfying.[Ahelf of any serious student or scholar of World War II in the Pacific.
