ON THE BACK COVER
The first submarine "ace" of World War II, Dudley "Mush" Morton was arguably the most famousand notorioussub skipper. In ten months at the helm of the USS Wahoo, he completely changed the way the sea war was fought in the Pacific.
Morton racked up an astounding list of achievements: the first to sink a ship within an enemy harbor; the first to use a head-to-head "down the throat" torpedo shot; and the first to wipe out an entire convoy single-handedly.
Here, for the first time, is the life story of a heroic and dynamic submarine commander, from his first days in the Navy to his ultimate end in battle off the north coast of Japana thrilling portrait of a man who fought the war on his own terms.
