{"product_id":"in-harms-way-2","title":"In Harm's Way","description":"NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER\n\n“Always a classic and now even better―a masterful account of one of history's most poignant and tragic secrets.”―Lee Child\n\nFrom the author of The Odyssey of Echo Company and Horse Soliders, In Harm's Way is the bestselling adrenaline-charged account of America's worst naval disaster during World War II―and of the heroism of the men who, against all odds, survived. Now available in an updated trade paperback edition.\n\nOn 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 316 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 316 men manage to survive?\n\nInterweaving the stories of three survivors―the captain, the ship's doctor, and a young marine―journalist Doug Stanton has brought this astonishing human drama to life in a narrative that is at once immediate and timeless. The definitive account of a little-known chapter in World War II history, In Harm's Way is a classic tale of war, survival, and extraordinary courage.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250853494\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1250853494.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Stanton, Doug\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
