I'm not sure words can do this book justice! It's an immaculate portrayal of the history of the USS Indianapolis that was torpedoed and sunk during the end of WW2. What made this story so gripping was the quest of the ship's survivors to clear their captain's name of blame for the sinking. It is truly an inspiring and heroic tale that had my eyes welled up with tears and my ears fuming steam. It will touch your heart and make you hoppin' mad!!

I'm going to be honest and warn other readers that the beginning starts off painfully SLOW, and has so much detail that it reminded me of a history text book. HOWEVER KEEP READING!!! The story starts to take shape once the action kicks in and from then on you won't be able to stop reading! I was GLUED to the pages...

I learned so much about this historical tragedy that I knew very little about. I'm shocked that the events of the USS Indianapolis haven't been more widely told. It was an honour to read this book. It gave me a whole new appreciation for the navy, the bravery of the men on board fighting for our freedom and their strength to overcome and persevere. If you enjoy WW2 history, please read this book!!

A huge gracious thank you to the authors, Simon & Schuster and Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book. It is a long overdue review and I'm so glad to have read it.
