Mutiny: The True Events That Inspired The Hunt for Red October

ABOUT THE AUTHORS

DAVID HAGBERG spent his early career as a cryptographer for the U.S. Air Force, where he traveled in the Arctic and in Europe at the height of the Cold War. For the past four decades he has studied America’s enemies and their militaries, especially the Soviet Union—its history, its secret intelligence services, and its navy—writing more than seventy novels, as well as novellas, short stories, and journalism. Mutiny: The True Events That Inspired “The Hunt for Red October” is his first book-length nonfiction. He has been nominated for the American Book Award, three times for the Mystery Writers of America’s Edgar, and has won Mystery Scene’s Best Mystery three years in a row. He and his wife, Laurie, live in Sarasota, Florida.

BORIS GINDIN resigned his commission in the Soviet navy within two years of the incident. However, he remained in the Soviet Union until 1988 when he immigrated to the United States with his wife, Yana, and their son, Vladimir. They all became citizens, and have highly productive careers. Boris and Yana live in Stamford, Connecticut. Vladimir got married to Dana and lives with their daughter, Alexandra, in New York.
