What's new in the 5th Edition? |
 |
The 5th Edition of my book contains about
80 pages of additional material thus making this the first major revision.
This edition includes:
1) about 30 new pages of Maps & Illustrations of the
battle.
2) 30 pages of biographies of the Escort Carrier Admirals at Leyte Gulf and
Samar and a few select Commanding Officer bios.
3) many more photographs related to Taffy III, the Japanese Centre Force,
and the battle.
4) 40 reformatted pages in an effort to cleanup the layout to support the
new material.
5) the elimination of much ‘white-space’.
6) and finally, for the first time, an extensive 16-page Index.
