Last Flag Down: The Epic Journey of the Last Confederate Warship by John Baldwin and Ron Powers is a thrilling historical account of the CSS Shenandoah, the last Confederate warship to surrender.

The book chronicles the Shenandoah’s daring raids on Union merchant ships, a strategic move to cripple the North’s economy. The crew, led by the enigmatic Captain James Waddell and executive officer Conway Whittle, embarked on a perilous voyage that lasted nearly a year, evading Union warships and weathering storms.

Beyond the naval exploits, the book delves into the sailors’ personal stories, motivations, and hardships they faced. It also explores the impact of the Shenandoah’s raids on the global maritime trade and the diplomatic tensions between the United States and Great Britain.
