The Real Escape from the USS Indianapolis: The Ship, the Sailors, and the True Story of the Worst US Naval Disaster - Andy Marino

"Do you know the real story of the Indianapolis? In July 1945, the USS Indianapolis completed a top-secret mission to deliver materials for the atomic bomb. Even the sailors didn't know what they were delivering or how important it was. After the drop-off, the Indy embarked on the next part of the mission. The ship never made it. Struck by two enemy torpedoes, it sank in twelve minutes. But what happened to the 1,196 men who were aboard? Could they survive lost at sea until they were rescued? Would help find them before the sharks did? Read all about the voyages of the USS Indianapolis, the men who worked aboard it, and their gripping life-and-death story in the final days of World War II."--
