About This Item
New York: Henry Holt & Company, 2001. Hardcover. New/New. Number line in the work reads as follows: 8 10 9 7. I believe this indicates the seventh printing of the first edition. Signed by the author on the title page; not personalized to anyone. 333 pages, book is clean, fresh, tight and bright. Dust jacket is protected in an an archival quality cover. For millions of people, World War II had much horror. For the Captain and the crew of the USS Indianapolis, their five days in the ocean were gruesome and terrible almost beyond description. Through research and use of oral history, Doug Stanton has told about the event. He writes carefully, with a sense of timing and an eye for the right detail, to make this a vivid and memorable account. A very nice, author signed, copy; available for immediate shipment.
