Indianapolis

Happy Father’s Day, folks!

On occasion, I’ll read a book that is so good I’ll post a blog about it.  I thought I would share a recommendation here on Indianapolis, a book my daughter gave to me for Father’s Day.

I received Indianapolis a couple of weeks ago, and it’s one of those books I couldn’t put down.   It’s really many stories wrapped into one book:  The story about the mission to deliver the uranium used in the atomic bomb that ended World War II, the story about the Japanese sub that sank the Indianapolis, the story about the ship’s sinking, the story about the delayed rescue and the shark attacks on the men in the water, the story of the recovery, the story about Captain McVay’s court martial, and finally, the story of his posthumous exoneration.  Trust me on this one, folks.  Indianapolis is worth your time.

I have two or three other recent reads I’ll recommend, too.  Stay tuned…those will be in future blogs.  And for all you Dad’s out there…again, enjoy the day.
