    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * "GRIPPING…THIS YARN HAS IT ALL." ?USA TODAY * "A WONDERFUL BOOK." ?The Christian Science Monitor * "ENTHRALLING." ?Kirkus Reviews (starred review) * "A MUST-READ." ?Booklist (starred review) A human drama unlike any other?the riveting and definitive full story of the worst sea disaster in United States naval history.Just after midnight on July 30, 1945, the USS Indianapolis is sailing alone in the Philippine Sea when she is sunk by two Japanese torpedoes. For the next five nights and four days, almost three hundred miles from the nearest land, nearly nine hundred men battle injuries, sharks, dehydration, insanity, and eventually each other. Only 316 will survive. For the first time Lynn Vincent and Sara Vladic tell the complete story of the ship, her crew, and their final mission to save one of their own in "a wonderful book…that features grievous mistakes, extraordinary courage, unimaginable horror, and a cover-up…as complete an account of this tragic tale as we are likely to have" (The Christian Science Monitor). It begins in 1932, when Indianapolis is christened and continues through World War II, when the ship embarks on her final world-changing mission: delivering the core of the atomic bomb to the Pacific for the strike on Hiroshima. "Simply outstanding…Indianapolis is a must-read…a tour de force of true human drama" (Booklist, starred review) that goes beyond the men's rescue to chronicle the survivors' fifty-year fight for justice on behalf of their skipper, Captain Charles McVay III, who is wrongly court-martialed for the sinking. "Enthralling…A gripping study of the greatest sea disaster in the history of the US Navy and its aftermath" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), Indianapolis stands as both groundbreaking naval history and spellbinding narrative?and brings the ship and her heroic crew back to full, vivid, unforgettable life. "Vincent and Vladic have delivered an account that stands out through its crisp writing and superb research…Indianapolis is sure to hold its own for a long time" (USA TODAY).

    "DO YOU REMEMBER THE HOSPITAL, COLTON?" SONJA SAID. "YES, MOMMY, I REMEMBER," HE SAID. "THAT'S WHERE THE ANGELS SANG TO ME." WHEN COLTON BURPO MADE IT THROUGH AN EMERGENCY APPENDECTOMY, HIS FAMILY WAS OVERJOYED AT HIS MIRACULOUS SURVIVAL. WHAT THEY WEREN'T EXPECTING, THOUGH, WAS THE STORY THAT EMERGED IN THE MONTHS THAT FOLLOWED-A STORY AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT WAS EXTRAORDINARY, DETAILING THEIR LITTLE BOY'S TRIP TO HEAVEN AND BACK. COLTON, NOT YET FOUR YEARS OLD, TOLD HIS PARENTS HE LEFT HIS BODY DURING THE SURGERY-AND AUTHENTICATED THAT CLAIM BY DESCRIBING EXACTLY WHAT HIS PARENTS WERE DOING IN ANOTHER PART OF THE HOSPITAL WHILE HE WAS BEING OPERATED ON. HE TALKED OF VISITING HEAVEN AND RELAYED STORIES TOLD TO HIM BY PEOPLE HE MET THERE WHOM HE HAD NEVER MET IN LIFE, SHARING EVENTS THAT HAPPENED EVEN BEFORE HE WAS BORN. HE ALSO ASTONISHED HIS PARENTS WITH DESCRIPTIONS AND OBSCURE DETAILS ABOUT HEAVEN THAT MATCHED THE BIBLE EXACTLY, THOUGH HE HAD NOT YET LEARNED TO READ. WITH DISARMING INNOCENCE AND THE PLAINSPOKEN BOLDNESS OF A CHILD, COLTON TELLS OF MEETING LONG-DEPARTED FAMILY MEMBERS. HE DESCRIBES JESUS, THE ANGELS, HOW "REALLY, REALLY BIG" GOD IS, AND HOW MUCH GOD LOVES US. RETOLD BY HIS FATHER, BUT USING COLTON'S UNIQUELY SIMPLE WORDS, HEAVEN IS FOR REAL OFFERS A GLIMPSE OF THE WORLD THAT AWAITS US, WHERE AS COLTON SAYS, "NOBODY IS OLD AND NOBODY WEARS GLASSES." HEAVEN IS FOR REAL WILL FOREVER CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK OF ETERNITY, OFFERING THE CHANCE TO SEE, AND BELIEVE, LIKE A CHILD. टॉड बर्पो हे नेब्रास्कातील इम्पीरिअल या गावी क्रॉसरोड्स वेस्लेयान चर्चचे धर्मोपदेशक आहेत. ते चेस काउन्टी पब्लिक स्कूलमध्ये कुस्तीचे मार्गदर्शक व आणीबाणीच्या प्रसंगी इम्पीरिअल व्हॉलेंटियर फायर डिपार्टमेंटच्या जवानांबरोबर स्वयंसेवक म्हणूनही आगीशी झुंजतात. कुटुंबाला आर्थिक आधार देण्यासाठी टॉड ओव्हरहेड डोअर स्पेशालिस्ट ही कंपनीही चालवतात. त्यांची पत्नी सोनया ही अर्ध वेळ शिक्षिका असून, त्यांना कॅसी ही मुल
