Personal Justice is an action packed fictional drama of retribution against Osama bin Laden for the attacks on America on September 11, 2001. The retribution is carried out by a grief-stricken father, William ¡®Dutch¡¯ Vandedroff, a retired United States Marine and covert operations specialist who loses his only daughter in the collapse of the World Trade Center.Personal Justice begins in a remote village on the northwestern frontier of Iraq, just hours after the start of the ground War during Operation Desert Storm in February ¡ö 1991. Saddam Hussein and an unknown Islamic extremist are meeting secretly to plan a Jihad or Holy Wax against America and its allies. Dutch and his close friend, Muhammed, a CIA operative, are sent to assassinate Hussein and the Islamic extremist.Dutch and Muhammed have their targets in sight, but just a split second before they fire they are interrupted by a priority message that aborts their mission. Its one minute past eight o¡¯clock on the morning of February 28,1991, and a cease fire has gone into effect - the Gulf War is over. Something deep in Dutch¡¯s gut tells him to disregard the order and take the shot, but he is trained to follow orders. Dutch and Muhammed Stand down and watch as Saddam Hussein and the Islamic extremist vanish into the desert. Several years later they learn that the Islamic extremist was none other than Osama bin Laden.On September 11,2001, Dutch, now retired, rushes to New York City after watching his daughter¡¯s building collapse. He is desperate to find his daughter and make sure that she is okay. An Emergency Medical Technician assisting with the evacuation of Manhattan, a former Marine, recognizes Dutch and offers his help to find his daughter. Two other officers join the search. All are former military and were trained by Dutch during their military careers.Dutch learns his daughter is among the missing and presumed dead. He regrets not following his gut feeling to take out Hussein and bin Laden in 1991. He feels responsible and begins to formulate a plan to rectify that missed opportunity in the Iraqi desert, and to avenge the deaths of his precious daughter and the thousands of other innocent victims.The New Yorkers learn of Dutch¡¯s plan and volunteer in spite of his objections. Dutch contacts his old friend Muhammed and asks for his help with the logistics and planning. Muhammed joins the team and uses his CIA network to give the team access to intelligence, funding, travel documents, and ground support in France, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Using the cover of food aid workers, Dutch and his team travel from Ground Zero to Canada, France, Pakistan, and then through the Khyber Pass into Afghanistan.They search the mountainous areas of Afghanistan, that the world has come to know as Tora Bora. After capturing and interrogating two al Qaeda fighters, they learn that bin Laden is due to visit a cave complex called the Fortress within a day or two. They discover the location of the Fortress from an unexpected source and stake it out.Dutch and his team spring into action with the arrival of bin Laden. Dutch¡¯s wife had told him to make sure he looks into bin Laden¡¯s eyes when he sends bin Laden to hell. Dutch is determined to follow her instructions to the letter.
