Publisher's Summary
July 30, 1945 - The USS Indianapolis and its 1,196-man crew is making its way toward a small island in the South Pacific. The ship is sailing unescorted, assured by headquarters the waters are safe. It is midnight, and Marine Edgar Harrell and several others have sacked out on deck rather than spend the night in their hot and muggy quarters below. Fresh off a top-secret mission to deliver uranium for the atomic bombs that would ultimately end World War II, they are unaware their ship is being watched. Minutes later, six torpedoes are slicing toward the Indy.
For five horrifying days and nights after their ship went down, Harrell and his shipmates had to fend for themselves in the open seas. Plagued by dehydration, exposure, saltwater poisoning, and shark attacks, their numbers were cruelly depleted before they were miraculously rescued. This is one man's story of courage, ingenuity, and faith in God's providence in the midst of the worst naval disaster in US history.

Stand-out testimony of a horrific event
This is a very real account told from a Christian perspective. I was much moved by many parts of this story and have decided to purchase the book to share it with others who will also appreciate it.

A full range of emotions
I have nothing but admiration for the men of the USS Indianapolis. This is a harrowing story or tragedy and coverup, but also of courage, determination and honour. it is also a testament to a God and the men who trust in him to use even the most trying of situations for ultimate good.
