Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisA harrowing, adrenaline-charged account of America's worst naval disaster - 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 317 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 317 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 destined to become a classic tale of war, survival, and extraordinary courage.

    Our father was on this ship.

    Our father was on this ship and was taken off at Pearl by Admiral Nimitz. Dad never recovered from the loss of his ship mates and the bombing of Pearl. He spent the rest of his life in fear, grief, paranoia and guilt that he was a survivor. I have given copies of this book to both my siblings. The reading and our visit to the USS Arizona gave us a much deeper understanding of our father's mental health issues.

    Excellent coverage of the event; Emotional.

    Because I had a friend who survived the sinking, and he gave me a first hand of what they experienced. I bought the first book to be published and gave it to him as a gift.
