Summary: Fantastic factual account from a master of fantasy
Review: This book is a captivating portrayal of the largest secret operation that the us government has ever done and where it went wrong. This story leads you through the development, test, delivery and deployment of the first atomic bomb with its title referring to the warship that delivered it to the pacific theater of operations.

Rating:
Summary: A powerful account of a very important set of events of WW2.
Review: This is a historical fiction account of the developement of the atomic bomb and the USS Indianapolis (the ship that delivered one of the bombs to the Pacific Theater). The author utilized all available historical records to add as much authenticity to the story as possible, and creates a very plausible storyline. The story of survival near the end of the book is enough to make you think twice of being in the water.
