Sobre este artículo
New York: Henry Holt & Company, 2001. 6th Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. 6x1x9. Sixth printing. Jacket spine head bumped. 2001 Hard Cover. 334 pp. Illustrated with black-and-white photos and maps. 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
