Product Information

The sinking of the USS Indianapolis is one of the great untold stories of WW2 - this is a future classic of war writing that offers a priveleged insight into the extremes of human experience The USS Indianapolis was the last ship sunk during the Second World War. Savaged by a salvo of torpedoes from a Japanese submarine the warship, one of the fastest in the US Navy, sank in a matter of minutes. One thousand two hundred men went into the water, only three hundred and twenty one were to survive. This is their story.On 30 July 1945 the Indianapolis was returning from the small island of Tinian having delivered the components of the atom bomb 'baby boy' which was to decimate Hiroshima and bring on the end of the war.As the torpedoes ripped into the side of the ship hundreds of men were killed. Because five days were to pass before the ship was registered as missing and for rescue efforts to begin those lucky enough to survive in the water were to face extremes of physical and mental hardship. Many were left to float in the ocean with little or no food or drinking water in deteriorating life jackets and, most chillingly of all, open to attacks by sharks, attracted to the area by the blood in the water. The testimonies of those who lived speak of the extremes of human emotion, incredible courage and unforgettable despair, remarkable charity and an unrelenting will to live. The visceral experiences of those five days were to haunt them for the rest of their lives.The Indianapolis was captained by the dashing and charismatic Captain Butler McV ay and his story, although he survived the sinking, is a tragic one. For a captain to loose his ship in combat, and with it many of the friends and loyal sailors who served with him, is perhaps the hardest blow, but McV ay was doubly marked as he was held responsible for the loss and court-marshalled -the only naval captain ever to be court-marshalled for the sinking of his ship. Twenty years after the Indianapolis went to the bottom, tormented by the experience and the resentment of many of the families of those who lost their lives in the disaster, he took his own life.Those who did survive maintain there was nothing he could have done to prevent the disaster and continue to campaign to clear the captain's name. This book is also his story.
