I just started this book and found the preface interesting. Its strange that so little was known about the USS Indianapolis until a young boy, Hunter Scott, decided to do a little digging. Hunter found out that an injustice was made against the captain of the USS Indianapolis, Captain McVay, and decided to make it his mission to clear his name.

I enjoy reading books that have to do with the military. So far its been interesting reading about one of the Navy's biggest disasters during the end of WW II.
