It examines the complexities of the US naval operations against the Japanese forces during World War II in the Pacific theater. The narrative focuses on the divided command structure between US Third Fleet under Adm. Halsey and Seventh Fleet under Vice Adm. Kinkaid, highlighting the communication and coordination issues that arose. Despite the ultimate victory for the US Navy, the book scrutinizes Adm. Halsey's controversial decision to pursue a Japanese decoy carrier force, which exposed American forces to potential danger. The book is intended for military historians and those interested in naval warfare, providing insight into the operational dynamics and leadership decisions that shaped the course of the battle.$7Generated by AI. 517 $aHalsey At Leyte Gulf 606 $aLeyte Gulf, Battle of, Philippines, 1944$7Generated by AI 606 $aCommand of troops$7Generated by AI 615 0$aLeyte Gulf, Battle of, Philippines, 1944 615 0$aCommand of troops 700 $aColeman$b Lt-Cmd Kent Stephen$01376449 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163193703321 996 $aHalsey At Leyte Gulf$93412261 997 $aUNINA
