&ldquo;The story of USS&nbsp;Indianapolis&nbsp;is movingly and vividly captured in this visceral account, the result of more than a decade&rsquo;s research and interviews conducted by its authors. . . . This is an eye-popping book, with as many twists and turns as an airport thriller.&nbsp;. . . Vincent and Vladic&rsquo;s extraordinary book morphs from high seas adventure to courtroom drama and congressional hearing. . . . It is a work of serious naval history and a detective story, told with passion.&rdquo; &mdash;The Times&nbsp;(London)&nbsp; &ldquo;Haunting . . . Lynn Vincent and Sara Vladic do a fabulous job of bringing this tragedy to life and setting it in its proper context.&rdquo; &mdash;Christian Science Monitor &ldquo;Chilling . . . The facts are more horrible than fiction.&rdquo; &mdash;New York Daily News &ldquo;Indianapolis is a gripping and emotional read. You may know part of the story from the famous speech in Jaws, but this book goes far beyond that. The product of extraordinary research, it is a brilliant, stunning, and stirring book.&rdquo; &mdash;Don Winslow, author of The Force&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Cartel&nbsp;  &ldquo;It was the worst sea disaster in U.S. naval history and&nbsp;Indianapolis, by Lynn Vincent and Sara Vladic, tells the grisly story without flinching. Their tale has almost everything. There&rsquo;s a secret mission, an honorable enemy and a scapegoated captain. There&rsquo;s madmen, heroes and cannibals. There&rsquo;s enough in this tale for several movies.&rdquo; &mdash;San Diego Union-Tribune  &ldquo;Simultaneously a gripping narrative, a convincing analysis, and a pitiless exposure of institutional mendacity . . . The systemic oversights and misjudgments that enabled this tragedy remained obscure until this investigation, which drew upon new sources clarifying how the file was amended. This expos&eacute; will be valuable for scholars and general readers alike.&rdquo; &mdash;Publishers Weekly  &ldquo;Valuable and illuminating. Vladic and Vincent&rsquo;s work brings to life the history of this valorous and extraordinary ship.&rdquo; &mdash;Doug Stanton, # 1&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;In Harm&rsquo;s Way&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Odyssey of Echo Company  &ldquo;Our hearts quickened while racing through this page-turning book. You may think you know the story of the worst seafaring disaster in the history of the United States Navy. You would be wrong. As Lynn Vincent and Sara Vladic&rsquo;s propulsive narrative segues from wartime action-adventure to riveting courtroom drama, their newly unearthed mountain of details encompassing this tragedy and its shape-shifting aftermath will not only enhance your understanding of the courage, sacrifice, and dedication of the American sailors so evocatively portrayed in&nbsp;Indianapolis, but shine a light on their dogged pursuit of truth and justice. It is astonishingly rare when such a significant work of history also brings tears to your eyes. Vincent and Vladic&rsquo;s ultimate tale of redemption accomplishes just that feat.&rdquo; &mdash;Bob Drury and Tom Clavin, #1&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling coauthors of&nbsp;Halsey&rsquo;s Typhoon,&nbsp;The Heart of Everything That Is, and&nbsp;Valley Forge  &ldquo;Vincent and Vladic have rendered this long-overdue story in a way few writers of narrative nonfiction could ever achieve. They are consummate storytellers, and their research is impeccable, including accounts not only from the sailors and officers who survived, but also from the Japanese kamikaze and submarine commanders who were there. The authors reveal all that is good and all that is bad about humanity: the destruction and the courage, the selfishness and selflessness, and ultimately the shared respect and dignity of those who were once enemies. Few other books will satisfy a reader&rsquo;s longing for a true and truly great story more than&nbsp;Indianapolis.&rdquo; &mdash;Gary Kinder,&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;Ship of Gold in the Deep Blue Sea  &ldquo;This is an absorbing book. The attention to detail is superb, the clear result of lots of plain hard work. Yet the detail doesn&rsquo;t get in the way, but rather serves, along with a driving narrative, to get the reader as close to experiencing this most tragic episode of World War II&nbsp;as is possible without living through it.&rdquo; &mdash;Karl Marlantes,&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;Matterhorn  &ldquo;The voices of the Greatest Generation come alive in&nbsp;Indianapolis. Through first-person accounts we hear horrific stories of fear, pain, and anger but also of resilience, hope, and courage. Stories of the friendships the sailors forged with each other on board and the sacrifices they made for each other in their&nbsp;darkest hours are inspirational. Ultimately,&nbsp;Indianapolis&nbsp;is about the sacrifice these men made for our country at a time of unparalleled risk and of their lifelong search for justice for the captain of their ship. It&rsquo;s a beautifully told and incredibly detailed narrative that brings this famous disaster to life.&rdquo; &mdash;Kate Andersen Brower, #1&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;bestselling author of&nbsp;The Residence&nbsp;and&nbsp;First Women  &ldquo;This is a brilliant, highly readable, and ultimately groundbreaking account of a proud ship&rsquo;s life and times, not simply a rendering of her tragic ending. Absolutely superb.&rdquo; &mdash;James Stavridis, U.S. Navy Admiral (Ret.), Supreme Allied Commander at NATO (2009-2013), and Dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University
