Requests:  0 Summary:  Just after midnight on July 30, 1945, days after delivering the components of the atomic bomb from California to the Pacific Islands in the most highly classified naval mission of the war, the USS Indianapolis is sailing alone in the center of the Philippine Sea when she is struck by two Japanese torpedoes. The ship is instantly transformed into a fiery cauldron and sinks within minutes. Some 300 men go down with the ship. Nearly 900 make it into the water alive. For the next five nights and four days, almost three hundred miles from the nearest land, the men battle injuries, sharks, dehydration, insanity, and eventually each other. Only 316 will survive. For the better part of a century, the story of USS Indianapolis has been understood as a sinking tale. The reality, however, is far more complicated. Following a decade of original research and interviews with 107 survivors and eyewitnesses, Lynn Vincent and Sara Vladic tell the complete story of the ship, her crew, and their final mission to save one of their own. The survivors fight for fifty years on behalf of their skipper, Captain Charles McVay III, who is wrongly court-martialed for the sinking. The courtroom drama weaves through generations of American presidents, from Harry Truman to George W. Bush, and forever entwines the lives of three captains: McVay, whose life and career are never the same after the scandal; Mochitsura Hashimoto, the Japanese sub commander who sinks Indianapolis but later joins the battle to exonerate McVay; and William Toti, the captain of the modern-day submarine Indianapolis, who helps the survivors fight to vindicate their captain.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.5426 Vi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5426 Vincent Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5426 Vi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5426 Vi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5426 Vi Lost 12/08/2018 Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5426 Vi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5426 Vi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5426 Vi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5426 Vincent Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.5426 Vi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
