The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors: The Extraordinary World War II Story of the U.S. Navy's Finest Hour"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
"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. Praise for The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors "One of the finest WWII naval action narratives in recent years, this book follows in the footsteps of Flags of Our Fathers. . . . Exalting American sailors and pilots as they richly deserve. . . . Reads like a very good action novel."--Publishers Weekly "Reads as fresh as tomorrow's headlines. . . . Hornfischer's captivating narrative uses previously classified documents to reconstruct the epic battle and eyewitness accounts to bring the officers and sailors to life."--Texas Monthly "Hornfischer is a powerful stylist whose explanations are clear as well as memorable. . . . A dire survival-at-sea saga."--Denver Post "In The Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors, James Hornfischer drops you right into the middle of this raging battle, with 5-inch guns blazing, torpedoes detonating and Navy fliers dive-bombing. . . . The overall story of the battle is one of American guts, glory and heroic sacrifice."--Omaha World HeraldBinding Type: Paperback

Works!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
We’ve tried every “gentle★★★★★ Finally, something that actually works for my nephews eczema.
We’ve tried every “gentle,” “hypoallergenic,” “pediatrician-recommended” cream and lotion out there, and nothing kept our little one’s cheeks, arms, and legs from flaring up and turning angry red. This moisturizer is the first one that calms everything down within a day or two and actually keeps the eczema under control if we use it morning and night.
It goes on thick but absorbs nicely, no greasy film, and most importantly, it doesn’t sting or make him cry when we put it on broken skin. Within a week the rough patches softened, the redness faded, and he stopped scratching himself raw at night. We’ve been using it for almost three months now and the flare-ups are rare and mild when they do happen.
Smells like almost nothing (huge plus), no fragrance to irritate him. A little goes a long way, so the tub is lasting forever. I wish we’d found this sooner; it’s been a total game-changer for bath time and bedtime peace. 100% five stars and I recommend it to every parent I know who’s struggling with baby eczema.” “hypoallergenic,” “pediatrician-recommended” cream and lotion out there, and nothing kept my nephews cheeks, arms, and legs from flaring up and turning angry red.

The gentlest, most hydrating and calming baby and sensitive skin moisturizer
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My go-to cream, even 8 years later when my babies are no longer babies. Calming, moisturizing, and so gentle. My kids and I can often get burning from other creams labeled for sensitive skin/fragrance free but this one doesn’t cause that. Superior product!

Excelente
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought this cream for my baby because my skin was very dry and irritated, and I really liked it. From the first days I noticed that the skin was more hydrated and less reddened. I like that it has no fragrance, which is ideal for babies with sensitive skin. The texture is soft, absorbs well and does not leave the skin greasy. In addition, it yields a lot because with a small amount it is enough. I definitely recommend it for babies with dry skin or prone to eczema. It has worked very well for me and I would buy it again.

Great product for babies!
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Great product. Switched from Aveeno Ezcema cream to Eucerin and I have no regrets. The cream helped reduce my little ones flare ups and it doesn’t leave a greasy feeling afterwards. I use it all over his body. He’s 51/2 months now and his skin is smooth and barely any redness or inflammation.
