    Shipping arrived on time. Item was packed well enough to arrive not broken or warped which seems like a huge win for a vinyl record. The product was exactly as described and the item was in great condition! Fair price for the condition and shipping quality! Item pictures really helped me see a fair representation of the item. This isn't always the case so I appreciate good documentation!

    As described and pictured; greatly appreciated item was packaged in a box and included item wrapped in bubble wrap surround by ample padding (this type of item does get damaged if mailed in poly mailers or even bubble mailers which are packaging methods of most sellers of this item -- so this seller shipping in box is a rarity -- thank you; item was shipped fast, as package was already in transit the next day order was placed. Five stars seller, A+++ transaction.

    Good reading about the Battle off Samar

    Interesting story of one of the bravest actions of WW2. The authors spends time in the early chapters giving the overall situation, the later chapters get specific about the actions of the Destroyers and Destroyer Escorts Hoel, Heermann, Samuel B Roberts and Johnson. My only wish was that he described the actions on the Escort Carriers a little better, from what I have read in other accounts, at on point there were aircraft from 5 or 6 different Escort Carriers on the desk of a single carrier rearming / refueling. Good book, worth the read if you are interested in WW2. The after action rescue was unfortunately a disgrace to the U. S. Navy.

    Historical Record

    This book is a compelling account of the Leyte Gulf, Pacific struggle between the Japan Imperial Fleet and The United States Navy Pacific forces. Told in the first-person, through the eyes of many U S Naval personnel, the book begins with the early careers of the sailors in the Navy, through to the Leyte Gulf battle. Day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute descriptions of the battle puts the reader on the bridge, on the decks, and below decks during the battle. Sailors of many ships give their accounts making the reader part of the battle. I recommend this book to all who served in the military, plus to anyone interested in the historical record of World War II in the Pacific. The accounts are mainly those of the American military, but some perspectives are also given from the ...

    REAL "AMERICAN History"!

    Since "American History" is no longer being taught, and when I went to school the tests were mostly about "What date did X happen", I found it very boring. This book tells the history of "What really happened", as told by the crews of these destroyers. Read this, and just maybe you will end up thanking Veterans when you meet them? History would have been my favorite subject had it been taught out of this book.

    Bought this for my husband. He's an ex-Navy man.

    Husband states he thoroughly enjoys this book. He is not an avid reader, but it feels great to see him sitting down to read a good book. I am so glad I bought this book for him.
