2. Indianapolis: The True Story of the Worst Sea Disaster in U.S. Naval History and the Fifty-Year Fight to Exonerate an Innocent Man
Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * GRIPPINGTHIS YARN HAS IT ALL. USA Today * A WONDERFUL BOOK. Christian Science Monitor * ENTHRALLING. Kirkus Reviews (starred review) * A MUST-READ. Booklist (starred review)A human drama unlike any otherthe riveting and definitive full story of the worst sea disaster in United States naval history.
Just after midnight on July 30, 1945, days after delivering the components of the atomic bomb from California to the Pacific Islands in the most highly classified naval mission of the war, USS Indianapolis is sailing alone in the center of the Philippine Sea when she is struck by two Japanese torpedoes. The ship is instantly transformed into a fiery cauldron and sinks within minutes. Some 300 men go down with the ship. Nearly 900 make it into the water alive. For the next five nights and four days, almost three hundred miles from the nearest land, the men battle injuries, sharks, dehydration, insanity, and eventually each other. Only 316 will survive.
For the better part of a century, the story of USS Indianapolis has been understood as a sinking tale. The reality, however, is far more complicatedand compelling. Now, for the first time, thanks to a decade of original research and interviews with 107 survivors and eyewitnesses, Lynn Vincent and Sara Vladic tell the complete story of the ship, her crew, and their final mission to save one of their own.
It begins in 1932, when Indianapolis is christened and launched as the ship of state for President Franklin Roosevelt. After Pearl Harbor, Indianapolis leads the charge to the Pacific Islands, notching an unbroken string of victories in an uncharted theater of war. Then, under orders from President Harry Truman, the ship takes aboard a superspy and embarks on her final world-changing mission: delivering the core of the atomic bomb to the Pacific for the strike on Hiroshima. Vincent and Vladic provide a visceral, moment-by-moment account of the disaster that unfolds days later after the Japanese torpedo attack, from the chaos on board the sinking ship to the first moments of shock as the crew plunge into the remote waters of the Philippine Sea, to the long days and nights during which terror and hunger morph into delusion and desperation, and the men must band together to survive.
Then, for the first time, the authors go beyond the mens rescue to chronicle Indianapoliss extraordinary final mission: the survivors fifty-year fight for justice on behalf of their skipper, Captain Charles McVay III, who is wrongly court-martialed for the sinking. What follows is a captivating courtroom drama that weaves through generations of American presidents, from Harry Truman to George W. Bush, and forever entwines the lives of three captainsMcVay, whose life and career are never the same after the scandal; Mochitsura Hashimoto, the Japanese sub commander who sinks Indianapolis but later joins the battle to exonerate McVay; and William Toti, the captain of the modern-day submarine Indianapolis, who helps the survivors fight to vindicate their captain.
A sweeping saga of survival, sacrifice, justice, and love, Indianapolis stands as both groundbreaking naval history and spellbinding narrativeand brings the ship and her heroic crew back to full, vivid, unforgettable life. It is the definitive account of one of the most remarkable episodes in American history.

4. Twilight on the Bay: The Excursion Boat Empire of B.B. Wills
Feature
Used Book in Good ConditionDescription
Twilight on the Bay tells the story of one man's effort to sail against the tide. In 1934 when Benjamin Bowling Wills purchased a fifty-year-old Hudson River steamboat to bring passengers to an amusement park he owned on the Potomac River south of Washington, D.C., even he didn't realize that he would soon abandon the amusement park and spend the next thirty-odd years running excursion boats in Washington...and Baltimore...and Boston...and even in Houston, Texas. As a viable element in the U.S. transportation system, excursion boats were rapidly becoming passe when Wills came on the scene. Many companies failed to survive the economically stressful days of the Great Depression. But that was precisely when Wills began to expand his holdings and move into new markets. Twilight on the Bay describes this unusual development in exquisite detail. Relying on the private papers and correspondence of B. B. Wills himself, the author traces the evolution of Wills's empire from the Potomac River on to the Chesapeake Bay - and eventually to cities up and down the east coast.5.

U Boats in the Bay of Biscay: An Essay in Operations Analysis
Description
"An outstanding piece of analysis, not only because of the synoptic view it gives of the extended North Atlantic campaign...but also for the lessons it contains for today s analysts. The most important lessons, I believe, are the need for thought in selecting appropriate measures of effectiveness and the criticality and time and cost in the measure/countermeasure process.... The major contribution is the modeling of the extended antisubmarine warfare campaign, with cycles of innovation and introduction of countermeasures on both sides. This is precisely the kind of extended competition we have been engaged in for the last several decades in many areas.... This should be one of your most useful and stimulating publications."A.W. Marshall Director of Net Assessment Office of the Secretary of Defence
"An extremely original, well presented, and insightful history of the Allied campaign against German U-Boats in the North Atlantic... Mr. McCue's uncomplicated and innovative use of basic concepts and models from military operations research... for discussing this important World War II campaign is both novel and compelling."
