Book Synopsis

A young readers edition of Doug Stanton and Michael J. Tougias'' New York Times bestseller In Harm's Waya riveting World War II account of the greatest maritime disaster in US naval history.

A masterful account of one of history''s most poignant and tragic secrets. #1 New York Times-bestelling author Lee Child

On July 30, 1945, the U.S.S. Indianapolis was torpedoed in the South Pacific by a Japanese submarine. An estimated 300 men were killed upon impact; close to 900 sailors were cast into the Pacific Ocean, where they remained undetected by the navy for nearly four days and nights. Battered by a savage sea, they struggled to stay alive, fighting off sharks, hypothermia, and hallucinations.

By the time rescue arrived, all but 316 men had died. The captain''s subsequent court-martial left many questions unanswered: How did the navy fail to realize the Indianapolis was missing? And how did these 316 men manage to survive agains
