The Gun Club: U.S.S. Duncan at Cape Esperance Paperback
The U.S. Navy’s first planned battle of WWII is told through the extraordinary, little-known story of USS DUNCAN, the first Allied warship to penetrate a Japanese battle-line. From their first encounter with their celebrated captain and tyrannical executive officer to a deadly night afloat in shark-infested waters to a homecoming turned into a PR campaign, THE GUN CLUB is a vivid day-to-day account of life on a warship, told largely in the words of the survivors, and is one of the most detailed and compelling accounts of a war cruise ever written.
About the Author
Robert Fowler, a documentary filmmaker, off-Broadway producer, screenwriter and director, is the son of DUNCAN’s torpedo officer.
