Item Description
A Fine and Private War - a novel by Stuart M. Van Tine (Emma Dooley's grandfather!) - signed copy
A Fine and Private War is a novel about an experimental Fletcher class can built during WWII. The ship was really built, but never launched. She was the only DD built during the war with diesel electric drive.
In the story, set in the present, she has been converted into a luxury yacht named Seafire, owned by a syndicate of very wealthy people.
A radical Islamic terrorist tells the owners that they must give him the ship, plus enough money to buy stolen nuclear satchel charges, or all of their children will be assassinated by his terror network. They have a terrible choice. If they give in to the demands, they will enable a madman the ability to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people. If they refuse, many, if not all, of their children will be killed.
The owners turn to an ex-Navy Vietnam vet for advice. He tells them they have only one choice. They must pretend to give in, but secretly turn the yacht back into a warship. Then they must go after the terrorists in their seagoing Trojan horse.
