Read firsthand the untold stories of the USS Indianapolis tragedy by rescuers, survivors and others who speak on these pages.  Read how the USS Bassett crew members jumped into the shark infested sea to bring the weakened survivors to the rescue boats.  After the small boats were loaded with survivors for transport to the Bassett, one swimmer remained in the sea encouraging the hallucinating men to ” hang-on, rescue is coming.”   The cover artwork is by Mark Churms, a military artist, entitled “Twilight of Perseverance.” Published in 2002.
