Description

Desperately fought on the morning of October 25, 1944, the Battle of Samar is one of the most celebrated engagements in United States naval lore. Facing overwhelming firepower, with no prospect of reinforcement, thirteen American warships begin a fight they couldn’t win and fought it to the death. Weaving together expensive interviews with veterans, unpublished eyewitness accounts, declassified documents, and rare Japanese sources, this book compiles an account of a naval engagement unlike any other in American history.
