In July 1945, the U.S. S. Indianapolis had delivered an atomic bomb to the United States Army Air Force Base on the island of Tinian.

Having transported the weapon that would bring the war to an end many of the crew thought that they had completed their last treacherous mission.

Little did they know that by the end of the month their famous ship would be at the bottom of the ocean and less than a third of their crew would survive to step on American soil once again.

The sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis, that resulted in the greatest loss of life at sea, from a single ship, in the history of the U.S. Navy, is one of the most tragic tales of all military history.

Thomas Helm, who had served on the Indianapolis at the beginning of the war and knew both the proud ship and many of its ill-fated men, records this harrowing tale so that their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Drawing upon interviews and records left by survivors Ordeal by Sea explains in vivid detail how the ship was spotted and hit by a Japanese submarine and provides insight into the terrifying hours that the surviving crew were forced to tread water for five days, 250 miles away from land, surrounded by sharks, with no food or water, as they faced increasingly smaller odds of survival.

Ordeal by Sea is essential reading for all who wish to remember this tragic event in naval history and to learn more about it from those who were lucky enough to survive.

Thomas Helm served in the Navy in World War II and served aboard the U.S.S. Indianapolis. He was wounded at Pearl Harbor where he was officially credited with shooting down a Japanese Zero with a Springfield rifle, for which he received a citation from Admiral Nimitz. After the war he worked as an author and wrote a number of books and articles. Ordeal by Sea was first published in 1963 and he passed away in 1993.
