From the dust jacket: "The never-before-told story of what was America's greatest wartime sea disaster; of what really happened to the Indianapolis and her crew; why she should never have been sunk in the first place; why the U. S. Navy left her crew drifting in shark-infested waters for four days even though they knew she was missing; and, after heads were accidentally seen bobbing in the water, why the Navy began a massive cover-up that lasted for over thirty years.
