Bitvy u zálivu Leyte byly pro americké vítězství v Tichomoří klíčové. Jejich rozsah zastínil všechny předchozí námořní konflikty a výsledek umožnil americkým silám dobýt Filipíny. Ve čtyřech různých bitvách – během vylodění v zálivu Letye a v bitvách u ostrova Samar, u mysu Engaño a v průlivu Surigao – byli Japonci poraženi jak v hladinových, tak v podmořských a leteckých bojích. Bitvy proběhly prakticky ve stejnou dobu jako součásti japonského plánu dosáhnout nad Američany námořního vítězství v trafalgarském stylu. Kniha přístupným stylem popisuje prolínající se čtyři různé bitvy.
