The seventy-nine men of the Gudgeon crew were never seen again. This is their story. Author Mike Ostlund's uncle, Lieutenant Junior Grade William C. Ostlund, was aboard that ship. Through extensive research of patrol reports in U.S. and Japanese naval archives, interviews with veterans who had served aboard the Gudgeon before its final patrol, and the personal effects of the lost men's relatives, Ostlund has assembled the most accurateaccount yet of this remarkably successful submarine's exploits, of the men aboard--from steward to captain--and of what we now know about her demise. Find 'Em, Chase 'Em, Sink 'Em also details the memories and life lessons of the young men who went to sea aboard Gudgeon before its last patrol, who knew hardly anything, and who came home having seen too much.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMike Ostlund holds a masters degree from the University of Iowa.
