BOOK REVIEW: All the Drowned Sailors

Author: Raymond P Loch

A 1982 look at the 1945 sinking of the USS Indianapolis by a Japanese submarine.

Anything that could go wrong in the tracking of the ship went wrong — and way wrong — from shuffled papers to errant radio messages to misplaced command authority. Worse, belated efforts to find and rescue the surviving sailors was equally bizarre, horrific, and surprising.

Good account. Enjoyed it.
