In Harm's Way: The Sinking of the USS Indianapolis and the Extraordinary Story of Its Survivors

Rating:
Summary: Fascinating subject, poorly written
Review: As others, the word "boys" repeatedly applied to the enlisted men, as though they were schoolkids - sometimes alternating in the same sentence with "men" - became more and more irritating; idiotic title for one chapter: "Genocide"; Japanese submarine machine gun existed only to kill survivors (also mentioned by someone else) - very shallow and self-important writing. Well, I'll say this for it, I read it all the way through, more or less.

Rating:
Summary: A terrifying read...
Review: This book, about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis at the closing of World War II, will absolutely terrify you. It is incredible to think that the events portrayed in this book actually took place, and even more unbelievable to know that some people actually survived these events. This book is guaranteed to be a fast-reading page-turner. Highly recommended for anyone interested in World War II history or simply looking for an astounding story of danger, heroism, and survival!
