Last Flag Down

In "Last Flag Down," the Confederacy's desperate attempt to shift the tide of the Civil War in late 1864 centers on a secret weapon—a state-of-the-art raiding ship named Shenandoah. Led by the idealistic twenty-four-year-old executive officer Conway Whittle and the experienced Capt. James Waddell, the crew embarks on a perilous journey, wreaking havoc on the U.S. merchant fleet while evading capture. Their mission takes a dramatic turn when they learn that the war has ended, leaving them to navigate a treacherous 15,000-mile quest for sanctuary under the threat of being labeled pirates. This evocative tale explores themes of courage, nobility, and camaraderie amidst the chaos of war.
