Default A Very Interesting Read

I've just finished reading a very interesting book about the Battle of Leyte Gulf. I read many different accounts on the sea battle at Leyte Gulf, but I have found this one the most interesting on this subject. The book is called Sea Of Thunder and is written by Evan Thomas. He mainly focuses on four personalities that partook in the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Two from the American side and two from the the Japanese side. The two on the Japanese side were Admirals Kurita and Ugaki. On the American side was Admiral William Halsey and Commander Evans who commanded the USS Johnston. The USS Johnston was a escorting destroyer of Taffey Three when the Japanese Center Force that came through the San Bernadino Straits under the command of Admiral Kurita.

This is a book I would recommend to anyone has has an interest in WW II such as I do. It is a very good read. You can find a review of the book here.
