IN HARM'S WAY The Sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis and the Extraordinary Story of its Survivors

With a delivery like a seasoned storyteller, Mark Boyett makes this riveting story of the sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis even more compelling. The combination of Boyett’s reading and the author’s straightforward style and heavy use of declarative sentences creates a presentation that will fully engage listeners. The Indianapolis was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in July 1945, shortly after delivering the components for the atomic bomb that would be dropped on Hiroshima. Hundreds of men were left clinging for life in shark-infested waters. You can almost see the sharks circling the stranded sailors. R.C.G.
