An estimated 300 men were killed upon impact; close to 900 sailors were cast into the Pacific Ocean, where they remained undetected by the navy for nearly four days and nights. Battered by a savage sea, they struggled to stay alive, fighting off sharks, hypothermia, and dementia. By the time rescue arrived, all but 316 men had died. The captain's subsequent court-martial left many questions unanswered: How did the navy fail to realize the \u003ci\u003eIndianapolis\u003c\/i\u003e was missing? Why was the cruiser traveling unescorted in enemy waters? And perhaps most amazing of all, how did these 316 men manage to survive? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInterweaving the stories of three survivors--the captain, the ship's doctor, and a young marine--journalist Doug Stanton has brought this astonishing human drama to life in a narrative that is at once immediate and timeless. The definitive account of a little-known chapter in World War II history, \u003ci\u003eIn Harm's Way\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic tale of war, survival, and extraordinary courage.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDoug Stanton\u003c\/b\u003e is a #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author whose writing has appeared in \u003ci\u003eEsquire\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTIME\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, and other national publications.
