Out of the Depths An Unforgettable WWII Story of Survival, Courage, and the Sinking of the USS Indianapolis by Edgar Usmc Harrell

A WWII Hero's Miraculous Survival at Sea July 30, 1945: After transporting uranium for the atomic bomb that would soon be dropped on Hiroshima, the USS Indianapolis headed unaccompanied toward a small island in the South Pacific. At 12:14 a.m., she was struck by two Japanese torpedoes, rolled over, and sank. Marine survivor Edgar Harrell vividly describes the horrors of being plagued by dehydration, exposure, saline poisoning, and sharks. This is a story of courage, ingenuity, and faith in God's providence in the midst of the greatest catastrophe at sea in the history of the U.S. Navy.
Edgar Harrell, USMC (Ret.), lives in Tennessee with his wife, Ola, enjoying their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren. Edgar speaks extensively around the United States about his survival at sea.
