Out of the Depths by Edgar Harrell
The Inspiring True Story of a World War I Hero's Miraculous Survival at SeaJuly 30, 1945--The US Indianapolis is making its way through the South Pacific, unescorted, assured by headquarters the waters are safe. Fresh off a top-secret mission to deliver uranium for the atomic bombs that would ultimately end World War I, Marine Edgar Harrell and his shipmates are unaware their ship is being watched. Minutes later, six torpedoes are slicing toward the Indy . . .
For five horrifying days and nights after their ship went down, Harrell and his shipmates had to fend for themselves in the open seas. Plagued by dehydration, exposure, saltwater poisoning, and shark attacks, their numbers were cruelly depleted before they were miraculously rescued. This is one man's story of courage, ingenuity, and faith in God's providence in the midst of the worst naval disaster in U.S. history.
A harrowing account of the sacrifice of sailors and Marines who fought and died for their country, so we could live. It is a story you should not and will not ever forget.--Jeremiah A. Denton Jr., RAdm, USN (Ret.)
A gripping tale of men tested beyond anything they thought possible--and how they responded with bravery, endurance, and faith.--Oliver L. North, Lt. Col., USMC (Ret.)
