Much of the activity in Circle William takes place aboard the USS WINSTON CHURCHILL as it transits the Mediterranean Sea.  We thought that some readers (or potential readers) might appreciate additional information not normally available in a novel.

Links on Chemical Warfare

The threat of chemical weapons attacks plays a major role in the novel Circle William. For readers interested in learning more about the growing menace of chemical warfare and how it is being combated by the U.S. military, we suggest these sites:

• Defense Threat Reduction Agency Chem-Bio Links

• DoD Biological & Chemical Agent Quick Reference Tables

• The Henry L. Stimson Center - policy, technology, & politics with significant information on chemical warfare defense

• DoD Proliferation Threat & Response Report (Libya)

Circle William thrusts a cast of interesting but ficticious characters into real settings and organizations, using real equipment.  Many of the real organizations in the story have real websites that might be of interest to the reader:
