Dawid bez procy: jak blaszane puszki pokonały japońskie pancerniki

David Without a Slingshot: How Tin Cans Defeated Japanese Battleships. This is the true story of the Battle of Samar on October 25, 1944, one of the most incredible engagements in the history of naval warfare. A handful of slow escort carriers and tin-tin destroyers, their guns unable to penetrate even enemy armor, stood alone in the path of Japan's mightiest battleship fleet, led by the giant Yamato. There was no one else between the Japanese colossi and the defenseless landing force of 130,000 men. Instead of fleeing, these small ships launched a suicidal attack. I tell the story of the lone charge of the destroyer Johnston and its commander, Ernest Evans; of the destroyer Samuel B. Roberts, which fought like a battleship; of the first kamikaze attack in history; and of the enemy that saluted drowning heroes. At the end, you'll discover a surprising twist that allowed a handful of fallen soldiers to save tens of thousands of lives, and the mystery of the deepest wrecks on Earth, discovered only in 2021 and 2022.
