Description
The Attack on the Liberty: The Untold Story of Israel's Deadly 1967 Assault on a U.S. Spy Ship In June 1967, the USS Liberty, a U.S. spy ship, was attacked by Israeli fighter jets and torpedo boats in international waters during the Six-Day War. The incident resulted in the deaths of 34 sailors and the wounding of over 170, including many critically. Newly declassified documents and interviews with survivors, senior U.S. officials, and those in Israel's chain of command reveal a more complex story than the official explanation of mistaken identity. James Scott's comprehensive account sheds light on the events leading up to the attack and the subsequent attempts to downplay its significance. For the first time, the full story of the USS Liberty's tragic fate is told, drawing on the personal experiences of the son of an attack survivor, who was awarded the Silver Star for his bravery.
