Doug Stanton
Remarkable events, and a remarkable book. Doug Stanton treats the subject with great respect while at the same time telling a gruesome story that needs to be told. I first heard of the Indianapolis when I was in the city, walking along the river, and saw a plaque commemorating the dead. It was all knew to me, and lingered. Now, years later, to read this story . . .
One incident that will stay with me forever. Sailors are on the verge of rescue. Water is supplied. A cup is filled and passed down to the end of the line. All of the sailors are near death from lack of water. Not one drinks out of turn.
