　　“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.
