Indianapolis: The True Story of the Worst Sea Disaster in U.S. Naval History and the Fifty-Year Fight to Exonerate an Innocent Man

The Indianapolis - A Gripping & Definitive Account of Worst Sea Disaster in US Naval History. Experience the riveting story of the USS Indianapolis, a ship that embarked on a final world-changing mission to deliver the core of the atomic bomb to the Pacific for the strike on Hiroshima.

But little did the crew know that their journey would end in tragedy when the ship was sunk by two Japanese torpedoes just after midnight on July 30, 1945. For five nights and four days, almost three hundred men battled injuries, sharks, dehydration, insanity, and each other in a race against time to survive.

Only 316 would make it out alive.

This is the complete story of the ship, her crew, and their final mission to save one of their own. But the Indianapolis's tale doesn't end there.

The survivors' fifty-year fight for justice on behalf of their skipper, Captain Charles McVay III, who was wrongly court-martialed for the sinking, is chronicled in this book. Indianapolis is a must-read, a tour de force of true human drama that goes beyond the men's rescue to tell the story of their fight for justice and recognition.
