    "description": "A human drama unlike any other\u2014the riveting and definitive full story of the worst sea disaster in United States naval history.\n\nJust after midnight on July 30, 1945, the USS Indianapolis is sailing alone in the Philippine Sea when she is sunk by two Japanese torpedoes. For the next five nights and four days, almost three hundred miles from the nearest land, nearly nine hundred men battle injuries, sharks, dehydration, insanity, and eventually each other. Only 316 will survive.\n\nFor the first time Lynn Vincent and Sara Vladic tell the complete story of the ship, her crew, and their final mission to save one of their own in \u201ca wonderful book\u2026that features grievous mistakes, extraordinary courage, unimaginable horror, and a cover-up\u2026as complete an account of this tragic tale as we are likely to have\u201d (The Christian Science Monitor). It begins in 1932, when Indianapolis is christened and continues through World War II, when the ship embarks on her final world-changing mission: delivering the core of the atomic bomb to the Pacific for the strike on Hiroshima.\n\n\u201cSimply outstanding\u2026Indianapolis is a must-read\u2026a tour de force of true human drama\u201d (Booklist, starred review) that goes beyond the men\u2019s rescue to chronicle the survivors\u2019 fifty-year fight",
