Good morning, 2/3rds. While we're waiting for Toby to chow down on his FRESH eggs, here's another riveting book: Doug Stanton's IN HARM'S WAY: The Sinking of the USS INDIANPOLIS and the Extraordinary Story of Its Survivors.

Of the 1200 men on board, only 317 survived for 4 days and nights in open waters of the South Pacific.

The son of one of those 317 survivors recommended it to me, and I can safely say that it is one of the most gripping stories I've ever read about the closing days of WWII.
