Main idea of the book

I believe the main idea of the is to make sure no one forgets about what is known as "the worst naval attack at sea in U.S. history." In Harm's Way was written for th pulic to see how the crewmemebers felt during the mission, after, and the effects it had on them. The emphasis Stantnon puts on the explosion and the shark attacks breaks hearts. You makes you greatful and proud of the men and now women that fight for the freedom and rights of our country. This book is about the secret mission of dropping off atomic bomb parts, and the dangers because of the Japanese on the the return home.
