Description
"On July 30, 1945, four days after delivering components for the atomic bomb destined for Hiroshima, the U.S.S. Indianapolis was torpedoed and sunk by a Japanese submarine. The U.S. Navy's blunders, delayed response, and subsequent cover-up is arguably the most appalling scandal of World War II. Of the 1,199 men on board, 883 perished." "Culled from previously unavailable files, this chilling story examines how and why the U.S. Navy left the crew in shark-infested waters for four days. Only a fraction of the 800 men who safely abandoned the ship survived the ordeal. This is also a fascinating account of the massive thirty-year cover-up that ruined the career, reputation, and life of the U.S.S. Indianapolis's blameless captain."--BOOK JACKET.
