looking for the title of this book and or auther?
A few years ago I read a book & now I can't remember the title OR author & I want to find that book ! The basic story line was: a guy ( maybe a criminal ? ) discovered a shallow ( barely below the surface ? ) rock out in the ocean & decided to create his own island. He contracted with some garbage barges to have them dump their barges on top of this rock & eventually he created an island. Then he somehow got the United Nations to recognize his island as a new nation, etc. He developed the island, built hotels & casinos, formed an Army & Navy, had a few battles & so on, etc.
this is just a book dont know how old it is but any thing that is close i can at least look and start some where , you know its just one of those things that bug you mind must be going haha thanks
