Told from the point of view of the men who waged this steel-shattering battle, The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors captures Navy pilots attacking enemy battleships with makeshift weapons and sacrificial valor, a veteran commander improvising tactics never taught in Annapolis, and young crews from across America rising to an impossible challenge.

The ultimate David vs Goliath Battle
Revisado: 03-17-23
This book covered the actions of the force known as Taffy 3, which was to provide air support to the initial Leyte landing force while the large carrier forces protected the invasion force. Due to a string of circumstances, the Destroyers, Destroyer Escorts, and Escort Carriers soon were facing the full might of the Imperial Japanese Navy’s Surface fleet head on, With nothing between themselves and the landing force. The story of Ships like the USS Johnston and the USS Samual B. Roberts and their last stand is awe inspiring.

A reconnaissance man and sniper, John Lewis Barkley served in Company K of the Fourth Infantry Regiment, a unit that participated in almost every major American battle. The York-like episode that earned Barkley his Congressional Medal of Honor occurred on October 7, 1918, when he climbed into an abandoned French tank and singlehandedly held off an advancing German force, killing hundreds of enemy soldiers.

It was so nice to find a first person telling of WWI. This is a well told, no holds barred personal account. Well worth the time!
