re: #469 calcajun

About ready to go finish reading McCollugh’s “John Adams” and about to start on Leyte Gulf. After that, “What Have God Wrought”

Leyte Gulf is a great battle to read about. While in many ways the IJN was doomed from the start, they came fairly close to inflicting a serious defeat on the US. America was saved thousands of casualties by Admiral Kurita’s bungling.
