This is the best book I have read describing the sinking of the USS Indianapolis, at the end of World War II. The author has done extensive research and interviewed the remaining survivors. The book also looks into what went wrong and why no one knew the Indianapolis was missing. The captain of the Indianapolis was the only US captain of a navy ship to be court martialed for his ship being sunk during the war. I couldn't put the book down. Anyone interested in World War II and American History will enjoy this book.
