The Ship That Wouldn't Die
by Don Keith
Penguin/Randon House, NY 2015
Airs beginning Oct. 19, 2015

In time for the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, author Don Keith has written an astonishing, exhilarating story of the U.S. Navy sailors who braved ferocious Japanese air attack, only to be left to die without power and hundreds of miles away from the nearest friendly vessel.

 
The author delves into one of the last untold stories of America's greatest war.
