A young listeners' edition of Doug Stanton and Michael Tougias’s New York Times best seller In Harm’s Way - a riveting World War II account of the greatest maritime disaster in US naval history

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 hallucinations.

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? And how did these 316 men manage to survive against all odds?

This thrilling wartime account of heroism and survival, book five in the True Rescue narrative nonfiction series, is inspiring and unforgettable - the perfect choice for young adventure-seekers.

The USS Indianapolis was about to set sail on a voyage that would change the lives of everyone involved. Sent out toward certain coordinates, they initially dropped the needed items for the building of the atomic bomb, and then headed toward their final destination. They would never arrive.
Several days after not reporting on time, the alarm still had not been raised. The sailors were beginning to lose hope that they would ever be rescued.
With an accidental finding, the story broke, and the Navy did their best to keep it as quiet as possible. It would take more than 50 years for the full truth to come out.

This story was one of determination and survival. I absolutely enjoyed this book! Great for kids who are interested in history.
