Indianapolis

Original review - June 7: Pretty good, but nothing spectacular. There wasn't any information added here that wasn't available elsewhere. Also, the survival of the sailors was very short and vague.

Updated review Sept 26, 2024: This was a hard one to get through. Somehow I read this 4 years ago without remembering any of the details, which is not surprising because it is written in such a strange way. The timeline jumps around, with little reason. One brief mention of McVay's death, but many many details of the young Hunter Smith. And then there were weirdly written parts, an example that sticks out is: Kimo was the partner of Duke Kahanamoku. The way it is written, you cannot tell that Duke Kahanamoku died some 30 years earlier. Especially with the shifting timelines, sentences like this made it even more difficult.

And then, there was very little resolution. We get some trial details, but nothing about the Senate hearings or the next steps.
