Synopsis
A vivid narrative history of the final stages of the Pacific War, as the US Navy began to slowly approach the Japanese home islands against fearsome opposition, notably from the suicidal Japanese airmen: the kamikaze ., The United States Navy won such overwhelming victories in 1944 that, had the navy faced a different enemy, the war would have been over at the conclusion of the Battle of Leyte Gulf. However, in the moment of victory on 25 October 1944, the US Navy found itself confronting an enemy that had been inconceivable until it appeared. The kamikaze , 'divine wind' in Japanese, was something Americans were totally unprepared for; a violation of every belief held in the West. The attacks were terrifying: regardless of the damage inflicted on an attacking airplane, there was no certainty of safety aboard the ship until that airplane was completely destroyed. Based on first-person accounts, Tidal Wave is the story of the naval campaigns in the Pacific from the victory at Leyte Gulf to the end of the war, in which the US Navy would fight harder for survival than ever before., The United States Navy won such overwhelming victories in 1944 that, had the navy faced a different enemy, the war would have been over at the conclusion of the Battle of Leyte Gulf.However, in the moment of victory on 25 October 1944, the US Navy found itself confronting an enemy that had been inconceivable until it appeared.

Based on first-person accounts, Tidal Wave is the story of the naval campaigns in the Pacific from the victory at Leyte Gulf to the end of the war, in which the US Navy would fight harder for survival than ever before., 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 kamikaza (Japanese for "divine wind") had arrived. 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 the victory at 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.
