Book Overview

Out of the Depths: The Life Story of Henry F. Milans is a biographical book written by Clarence W. Hall. The book tells the story of Henry F. Milans, a man who survived a harrowing experience at sea during World War II. Milans was a sailor aboard the USS Indianapolis, which was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine in the Pacific Ocean in July 1945. He and his fellow crew members were stranded in the ocean for four days, facing starvation, dehydration, and shark attacks. Milans was one of the few survivors of the tragedy, and his story of survival and resilience is told in this book. The author, Clarence W. Hall, was a journalist who interviewed Milans and wrote his story shortly after the war. The book includes details of Milans' life before and after the war, as well as his experience on the USS Indianapolis. It also provides historical context for the events of World War II and the sinking of the USS Indianapolis. Out of the Depths is a gripping and inspiring account of one man's survival against all odds. It is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the power of hope in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
