Attack on the Liberty: The Untold Story of Israel's Deadly 1967 Assault on a U.S. Spy Ship Paperback - 2010
by James Scott
Journalist Scott presents the definitive account of the infamous 1967 attack on the U.S.S. "Liberty" by Israeli forces and the continuing controversy over what really happened.
Summary
Notorious incident: In 1967 the spy ship USS Liberty was attacked by Israeli fighter jets and torpedo boats in international waters during the Six-Day War. Thirty-four sailors were killed and more than 170 wounded, many critically. Israel claimed mistaken identity, which a U.S. naval court of inquiry confirmed, but that explanation is contradicted by the facts of the case.
Based on new revelations: James Scott has interviewed Liberty survivors, senior U.S. political and intelligence officials, and examined newly declassified documents in Israel and the United States to write this comprehensive, dramatic account. He reveals that officers in Israels chain of command were aware of the Liberty s identity and shows how events in Vietnam prompted the American government to deemphasize the attack despite widespread disbelief of Israels story.
The son of an attack survivor: Scotts father, John, was an officer and engineer aboard the Liberty who was awarded the Silver Star for helping to save the ship from sinking.
