Description
In a new account of the first Allied warship and the daring fight of its crew to penetrate Japanese battle-lines, The Gun Club: U.S.S. Duncan at Cape Esperance [October 1, 2017] by Robert Fowler, explores the crewmen’s story from beginning to its tragic end. From their first encounter with their celebrated captain and tyrannical executive officer to a deadly night in shark-infested waters, and finally 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 survivors.

About the Author:
Robert Fowler is the son of the U.S.S. Duncan’s torpedo officer, Lieutenant Robert Ludlow Fowler III, who died during the Navy’s first planned battle during World War II. Years later he would become an adopted member of the crew, as its surviving members confided in him for many years. His father’s connection helped to unlock the memories of the former crewmen and, thanks to his own obsessive interest in every detail, Fowler confronted every lead to develop the incredibly detailed account of the U.S.S. Duncan and its crew found in his book, The Gun Club: U.S.S. Duncan at Cape Esperance. Fowler has also worked as a documentary filmmaker, off-Broadway producer, screenwriter, and director.
