On July 29, 1945, four days after delivering the atomic bomb destined for Hiroshima, the U.S.S. Indianapolis was torpedoed and sunk. of the 1,199 men on board, 883 perished. Culled from previously unavailable files, this is the chilling story of how the U. S. Navy left the crew in shark-infested waters for four days, and why only a fraction of the 800 men who safely abandoned the ship survived the ordeal. This is the true story of the massive thirty-year cover-up that followed.

About the Author:
Raymond B. Lech is a veteran of the U. S. Marine Corps. His other books include Broken Soldiers.
Review:
Much of this grim tale was secreted away for decades in classified military files, from which Mr. Lech has now managed to pry the facts. The evidence he has collected is compelling. (The New York Times Book Review)
The incompetence and indifference of several key naval officers accounted for the high death toll.... There have been many books on the sinking, but Lech is the first person to have had access to the confidential records and court-martial proceedings. His book should be in all World War II collections. (Library Journal)
Lech's book is a solid recounting of Indianapolis's journey, its sinking, the ordeal of its survivors, and the aftermath. (The Northern Mariner/Le Marin du nord)
