Title: page-turning history
Review: I first heard about the USS Indianapolis in the movie Jaws and later came across references to it in history books, usually those about the atomic bombs. It's a gripping tale in itself, and Stanton does it--and the young men who survived the sinking--great justice. He tries to give it historical weight with some footnotes and light discussion of the sources, but the book is almost pure narrative, which Stanton pens excitingly with a clear eye to the individuals who endured the ordeal of their ship going down and spent days afloat. It was harrowing: sharks, no food, no water, few lifeboats, dehydration-induced hallucinations. And Stanton captures the drama, the fear, the horror--and the joy of being rescued. Stripped of the (important) controversy about who was responsible for the ship's whereabouts being unknown, this is a story of human courage, plain and simple. I couldn't put it down.
