This is a must read account of what happened to the 'Indy'. I became aware of the story of the Indianapolis back when Captain Butler's suicide made the news. What I learned back then was upsetting; but also not totally surprising. The U.S. military is very good at scapegoating someone for the screwups caused by those who are truly in command. It routinely lands on the back of someone who is below 'flag label's.
Some reviews have complained of the 'slant' that the author has in this book. My feeling is that this book needed to be slanted in order to help right a miscarriage of military justice.
I was thrilled to find out that the U.S.Navy finally 'owned up' to the fact that they screwed the Captain (and also the crew) in order to cover for the gross negligence of the Navy themselves. There was a good line in the movie of the same name as this book (quite ironically). Henry Fonda said to John Wayne's character regarding blame for losing his ship; "The Navy never admits to being wrong; but in this case, they are falling short of being right". That line had always run through my mind whenever the subject of the U.S.S. Indianapolis came up.
The surviving crew members, with a big assist from the author, deserve all the credit for righting this terrible wrong, that has caused unbelievable suffering for so many people for so many decades.

Do you like history? Are you interested in WWII? Do you enjoy drama and suspense? Does loyalty make you tear up? Well, if you answered yes to any of these questions, you should read this book. If you said yes to more than one of these questions, you should definitely read this book. And, if you answered yes to all of these questions, you should read this book immediately.

This book tells the tale of the U.S.S. Indiana and its fateful journey from SF to deliver nuclear warheads that will destroy Hiroshima and Nagasaki. What happens to the ship and crew after it delivers its top secret cargo is both tragic and ironic. How the "Indy's" men show loyalty and perseverance after the fact brought me to tears and by the end of the book, I was openly weeping.

How can a non-fiction book make me weep? Well, I am kind of emotional and prone to tearing up when I encounter loyalty in the face of adversity. But I posit that even the most stoic reader will feel emotional reading this harrowing, gripping and informative account of a little-known side-story of WWII and the Pacific Rim drama that was the conflict between Japan and the U.S.A.

This is easily the best account I've read of this dreadful tragedy. Well written, deeply and well researched, it is a detailed and engaging account of this terrible event. If ever "war is hell" comes to mind, this is it. What is also deeply disturbing, is the Navy's enthusiasm at throwing one of its own right under the bus. The families of the sailors who died under terrible and possibly unnecessary circumstances demanded justice, and so it appears, Captain McVay was the ideal, ready to fry and on hand scapegoat. Anyone has to wonder how on earth the Captain could possibly have avoided being torpedoed by a Jap submarine (considering zigzagging was deemed early on in the war a completely ineffective method of escaping detection). It is shocking to read that the Captain continued for decades after the disaster, to receive such virulent hate mail from family members of lost crewmen that this gentle and capable man sought self destruction. Unquestionably, there were few survivors of this horrible epic event. There are plenty of details in this book that apply themselves to the well rounded and encompassing story of this awful period of WWII. This is the book to read for a truly knowledgeable account of the fated ship, Indianapolis.

EXCEPTIONAL!! The author brought this book to life for me. I had heard of the USS Indianapolis but did not know much about it. Well now I do. He made the men seem like my friends; made me feel as though I was there with them. He explained the depth of the horrors without needless exaggeration. I appreciate that he gave names of officers involved in this unspeakable tragedy and told us what happened (or didn't happen) to each one. The book was so well written and easy to understand. I downloaded this book to my phone, thus whenever I had a spare 30 seconds, I read a few lines. I read and read and read and LOVED this book.

OK, I detest book reviews that proclaim the reader could not put the book down...but this is such a book. Excellently written and fast paced, it puts the reader right in the middle of the action. It does not spend 20 pages laboriously describing the life history of all the players involved but rather injects the reader immediately into the storyline and keeps the drama and suspense active throughout the book. After reading this outstanding presentation of this horrible event you will think twice about complaining about your aching knee or the guy that cut you off on the way to work this morning. Thanks in part to Navy bureaucratic incompetence hundreds of young men spent days in the expanse of the Pacific ocean being menaced by sharks, lack of water and food before they were luckily and miraculously rescued by heroic servicemen that, in contrast to their senior leaders, pushed the envelope and risked their own lives to get these young emaciated, frightened men back to civilization. You need to read this book.
