In Harm's Way is a horrifying true story describing the sinking of the USS Indianapolis, a WWII battleship, on its way to an island called Leyte. The ship had just finished a mission delivering the parts of the bomb "Little Boy", an atomic bomb that would later be dropped on Hiroshima. This particular story is not just an ordinary sinking however, its what happened to those that survived the torpedoeing that had it the worst. 300 American soldiers instantly died from 2 Japanese torpedoes and the remaining 900 soldiers made a fast escape from the ship. What ensued could only be described as hell. Lost in the Pacific, the soldiers suffered from thirst, starvation, sun exposure, and, worst of all...sharks. Being constantly challenged by the sharks, they also had the looming enemy, insanity. Many went crazy from the lack of water. Of the 900 that went into the ocean, 317 got out after the 4 day battle for survival. If you are into gripping survival stories and general horror, read the book In Harm's Way by Doug Stanton.
