Circle William by Bill Harlow

Jim Schmidt is a master of spin. As White House press secretary, his job is to pursuade the nation's most powerful journalists to play a story the way the White House wants it played. Jim's younger brother, Bill, is equally skillful, but in a different realm. He's the charismatic captain of the USS Winston Churchill and has been disciplined for repeated international incidents involving the drunken sprees of his crew. Both brothers display irrcverence towards their respective careers, which is why they seem an unlikely team to run a delicate, high-risk operation to thwart a chemical weapons attack by Libya on Israel. But when the worlds of military intelligence, the White House, the Navy, and the media collide over a matter of vital national security, nothing is as it seems. How the brothers counter the Libyan threat and how they spin the story makes Circle William as much a story of international terrorism as a contemporary political thriller.
Captain Bill Harlow, retired from the US Navy in 1997, has served as Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Navy and as Assistant White House Press Secretary for National Security and Foreign Affairs for the CIA.
