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.
