Tougias' New York Times bestseller In Harm’s Way―a riveting World War II account of the greatest maritime disaster in US naval history.\n\n\"A masterful account of one of history's most poignant and tragic secrets.\" ―#1 New York Times-bestelling author Lee Child\n\nOn July 30, 1945, the U.S.S. 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 hallucinations.\n\nBy 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? And how did these 316 men manage to survive against all odds?\n\nNew York Times bestselling author Michael J. Tougias adapts his histories of real life stories for young readers in his True Rescue Series, capturing the heroism and humanity of people on life-saving missions during maritime disasters.\n\nMore Thrilling True Rescue Books:\nThe Finest Hours (Young Readers Edition)\nA Storm Too Soon (Young Readers Edition)\nInto the Blizzard (Young Readers Edition)\nAttacked at Sea (Young Readers Edition)\nRescue on the Bounty (Young Readers Edition)\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250771323\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1250771323.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Tougias, Michael J.|Stanton, Doug\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\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 is very worn but is perfectly usable.
