Preludes to Victory,
By Irwin J. Kappes (Middletown, New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Preludes to victory: The Battle of Ormoc Bay in World War II (Paperback)
"Preludes to Victory" is an excellent book of its type: A personal document of a sailor's experiences in the U.S. Navy of World War Two. It points out something overlooked by most naval historians; namely, that the Battle of Leyte Gulf was intended to end Japanese resistance on Leyte, but this did not happen. It was left to the "small ships"--the APDs (fast landing ships) and destroyers--to bring an end to the campaign by the landings at Ormoc Bay on the west coast of Leyte.
