Indianapolis by Lynn Vincent and Sara Vladic

A wartime disaster, survival story, and reckoning

Very Good Condition – light cover and edge wear visible.

Lynn Vincent and Sara Vladic reconstruct the sinking of the USS Indianapolis, one of the most harrowing naval disasters of the Second World War. After delivering components for the atomic bomb, the ship was torpedoed, leaving hundreds of sailors exposed to injury, thirst and sharks while rescue was delayed. Drawing on extensive research and survivor testimony, the authors trace the catastrophe, the controversial court-martial of Captain Charles McVay and the long campaign to restore his name. The result is a gripping story of courage, loss and justice.
