Description: Always a classic and now even better a masterful account of one of history's most poignant and tragic secrets. Lee Child Now available in an updated trade paperback edition In Harm's Way is the bestselling adrenaline - charged account of America's worst naval disaster during World War II and of the heroism of the men who against all odds survived. On July 30, 1945, the USS 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 dementia. 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? Why was the cruiser traveling unescorted in enemy waters? And perhaps most amazing of all how did these 316 men manage to survive? Interweaving the stories of three survivors the captain the ship's doctor and a young marine journalist Doug Stanton has brought this astonishing human drama to life in a narrative that is at once immediate and timeless. The definitive account of a little - known chapter in World War II history In Harm's Way is a classic tale of war survival and extraordinary courage.
