Reviews
"The incomparable Evan Thomas has done it again. World War II in the Pacific has never gotten the attention it deserves, andSea of Thunderhelps to restore the balance."-- Michael Beschloss, author ofThe Conquerors, "A riveting tale of character and war by one of our most graceful writers. With impressive scholarship and a brilliant eye for detail, Evan Thomas tells the extraordinary story of Leyte Gulf without ever losing sight of the men in the maelstrom."-- Rick Atkinson, author ofAn Army at Dawn, "Sensational, riveting history, plus a brilliant penetrating study of both the American and Japanese military minds.Sea of Thunderis full of psychological insight that will leave your jaw dropping."-- Bob Woodward, author ofPlan of Attack, "This is a wonderful book; thoughtful and riveting all at the same time, and it'sgoodhistory -- you're never quite sure things are going to turn out the way you know they did!"-- Ken Burns, Filmmaker,The War, "Sea of Thunderis an extraordinary book. Evan Thomas's dig into recent Japanese writing on the war, and his personal investigations among the survivors, turned up historian's gold. His Japanese leaders appear not unlike ourselves, behind the mask of an alien old culture. The portrait of Kurita, the controversial Japanese commander at Leyte Gulf, is novel, convincing, and surprisingly moving."-- Herman Wouk, author ofThe Winds of WarandWar and Remembrance, "Whenever Evan Thomas turns on his smarts and energy, history makes more sense. Here he looks at the Pacific War from Guadalcanal to Tokyo Harbor and brings his vivid insights to the world's greatest naval campaign."-- Ben Bradlee, former editor,The Washington Post, naval officer, the South Pacific, 1942-45
