Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Just after midnight on July 30, 1945, the USS Indianapolis was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine. The ship sank in 14 minutes. More than 1,000 men were thrown into shark-infested waters. Those who survived the fiery sinking—some injured, many without life jackets—struggled to stay afloat in shark-infested waters as they waited for rescue. But the United States Navy did not even know they were missing. The Navy needed a scapegoat for this disaster. So it court-martialed the captain for “hazarding” his ship. The survivors of the Indianapolis knew that their captain was not to blame. For 50 years they worked to clear his name, even after his untimely death. But the navy would not budge—until an 11-year-old boy named Hunter Scott entered the picture. His history fair project on the Indianapolis soon became a crusade to restore the captain’s good name and the honor of the men who served under him.

Synopsis:

Left for Dead relays the story of the USS Indianapolis.

Synopsis:

Nelson tells the true story of 11-year-old Hunter Scott, who in 1998 began to uncover the truth behind a historic World War II naval disaster aboard the "Indianapolis," which led to the reversal of the wrongful court martial of the ship's captain.
