| Summary: | Surigao Strait in the Philippine Islands was the scene of a major battleship duel during the Battle of Leyte Gulf.

Tully pulls together all of the existing documentary material, including newly discovered accounts and a careful analysis of U.S. Navy action reports, to create a new and more detailed description of the action. |
