In Harm's Way: The Sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the Extraordinary Story of its Survivors
reviewed on + 13 more book reviews


Well written, harrowing tale of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the errors that led to a delay in the rescue. Particularly touching and appalling were the accounts of the sailors left floating in the ocean for days, fighting delirium, dehydration, sharks and each other.
