LEFT FOR DEAD NOVEL OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW Left For Dead, by Pete Nelson with a preface by Hunter Scott, is the story of Hunter Scott's quest to restore honor to the Captain and crew of the USS Indianapolis. Hunter’s journey began as a middle school student whose simple history fair project amounted to what is now recognized as the greatest collection of information in the world on the USS Indianapolis.

Clip from Jaws OVERVIEW 11 year old Hunter Scott saw a clip from the popular movie, Jaws and first heard about the USS Indianapolis. Hearing about the attack intrigued Hunter to learn more, thus starting his research into the USS Indianapolis. Clip from Jaws

OVERVIEW This nonfiction work explores the sinking of the USS Indianapolis, one of the greatest sea disasters in naval history, and a young man’s quest to seek the truth and to reverse the court-martial of the ship’s captain.

OVERVIEW The USS Indianapolis was on a mission to deliver the atomic bomb. This was a secret mission. The men on board the USS Indianapolis, with the exception of the high-ranking officials, had no idea the cargo they were transporting.

OVERVIEW It only took 12 minutes for the USS Indianapolis to sink when the Japanese torpedoed it on July 30,1945. More than eleven hundred sailors were thrown into shark-infested waters. Those who survived the sinking fought to stay alive for four days before the Navy even knew they were missing.

OVERVIEW Only 317 sailors made it, but the tragedy didn’t end there. The government needed a scapegoat, so it blamed the ship’s captain, Charles Butler McVay III, for the disaster and court-martialed him. Eventually McVay committed suicide in 1968.

OVERVIEW In 1997, Hunter Scott, a sixth-grader in Pensacola, Florida, dedicated his history project on the theme of Triumph and Tragedy, to the USS Indianapolis, and to getting the U.S. government to reverse the court-martial of Captain McVay.
