Synopsis
"This will be a fight against overwhelming odds from which survival cannot be expected. We will do what damage we can." With these words, Lieutenant Commander Robert W. Copeland addressed the crew of the destroyer escort USS Samuel B. Roberts on the morning of October 25, 1944, off the Philippine Island of Samar. On the horizon loomed the mightiest ships of the Japanese navy, a massive fleet that represented the last hope of a staggering empire. All that stood between it and Douglas MacArthur' s vulnerable invasion force were the Roberts and the other small ships of a tiny American flotilla poised to charge into history. In the tradition of the #1 New York Times bestseller Flags of Our Fathers, James D. Hornfischer paints an unprecedented portrait of the Battle of Samar, a naval engagement unlike any other in U.S. history--and captures with unforgettable intensity the men, the strategies, and the sacrifices that turned certain defeat into a legendary victory.

    On 7/1/2025, we purchased a lot of 500 Assorted Postcards by auction. The lot was shipped quickly. It arrived today, 7/9/2025. All 500 continental size cards were packed very well and in very good condition. We are very satisfied with purchased, would use this seller again and would recommend this seller to others. Lesson learned by us: Always ask the seller what size the postcards are if it does not state it in the listing. Our fault.

    The book was a couple of days late. The seller responded promptly to my concern. The book was exactly as described. I would definitely buy another item from this seller.
