About this product

Product Information

In October 1944 the United States Navy had won such overwhelming victories that, had it faced a different enemy, the war would have been over. However, at the conclusion of the Battle of Leyte Gulf, in the moment of apparent victory, the US Navy confronted a horrifying new enemy tactic. At 1045 hours, USS St. Lo, survivor of the Battle off Samar, was deliberately hit by a single Japanese fighter that crashed through her flight deck, igniting fires that sank her within 30 minutes. The kamikaze had arrived. Almost immediately, the main threat shifted from carrier-versus-carrier encounters to an intermittent flow of demoralizing kamikaze raids that hampered operations throughout the remainder of the war. A violation of every belief held in the West, these terrifying attacks were something for which the US was totally unprepared, and provoked in its men a new, deeply personal hatred of the enemy. Based on first-hand accounts, Tidal Wave tells the action-packed story of the naval campaigns in the Pacific, from Leyte Gulf to the end of the war - a period in which the US Navy would need to fight harder for victory than ever before.
