White House press secretary Jim Schmidt is a master of spin, with the skills to cajole and otherwise persuade the nation's most powerful journalists. Jim's younger brother Bill is the charismatic captain of the USS "Winston Churchill", and leader of its expert but rambunctious crew.
When the United States uncovers a Libyan chemical warfare plot, the brothers, along with beautiful and savvy Washington reporter Sue O'Dell, are plunged into a crisis of international terrorism - in which controlling the facts is essential in keeping the upper hand . . . and in which the standard rules of engagement no longer apply.
Drawing from his decades of service in the US Navy, inside the Pentagon, and as an assistant White House press secretary, Bill Harlow brings stunning authenticity to 'Circle William', a top-notch military thriller.
