The Tragedy of the USS Juneau

In 'Left to Die,' award-winning author Dan Kurzman gives us the first full accounting of the mystery and controversy behind one of the most devastating tragedies in U.S. Naval history: the sinking of the USS Juneau in 1942, in which nearly 700 lives were lost.

The Juneau is often remembered as the ship on which, against Navy policy, all five Sullivan brothers served -and died - together. The extraordinary sacrifice of that family made headlines across the country and became a rallying cry in the war against the Axis powers. But it also served to shift the focus away from the cruel and unforgivable blunders committed by the military in the hours and days following the ship's destruction.

In extensive interviews with survivors and family members, and with personnel assigned to ships and military bases in the area, Dan Kurzman asked the questions that must be answered. 'Left to Die' is a powerful look not only at the tragedy of the USS Juneau, but at the experience of war itself.
