The USS Indianapolis sank on July 30, 1945 after being hit by Japanese torpedoes in the Philippine Sea. Of the approximately 1,200 sailors on board, only 316 survived the wreck and the subsequent five days in the sea. Vincent and Vladic draw on new research, including interviews with the survivors, to tell the story of the tragedy and its aftermath—including the fight to exonerate Captain Charles McVay III, who was court-martialed.
