I was well aware of the Israeli attack on the U.S.S. Liberty in 1967, but never knew the details. The U.S. and Israel governments swept this incident so far under the rugh that they pretty much don't even acknowledge it happened.
It's not plausable to me that a professional air force the likes of the IAF could mistake a prim U.S. Navy intelligence ship for an Egyptian tramp steamer for two-hours of sustained attack. Thirty-four sailors were killed, and it's a wonder the ship didn't sink.
The author has a theory the incident was a set up -- a pretext to allow the U.S. to attack Egypt in conjunction with the Israelies. I don't know if I'd go that far, but this is an amzaing read to learn what the sailors went through, and how the survivors were shunted aside in later years.
The book does prove that the official explanations are a sham. This was no accident. We only can guess at the real purpose."
