Military Review, Sept-Oct, 2004 by Rick Baillergeon
THE LIBERTY INCIDENT: The 1967 Israeli Attack on the U.S. Navy Spy Ship, A. Jay Cristol, Brassey's Inc, Herndon, VA, 2002, 294 pages, $27.50.
On 9 June 1967, Israel's Air Force and Navy attacked the USS Liberty (a U.S. Navy Intelligence ship). Several conclusions about why it was attacked have been put forward since then, but I believe A. Jay Cristol has ended the controversy about the incident with his new book, The Liberty Incident: The 1967 Israeli Attack on the U.S. Navy Spy Ship.
Cristol, a retired navy aviator, who is a federal judge, spent a decade conducting over 500 interviews; researching hundreds of articles and dozens of books, studying thousands of pages of official U.S. and Israeli investigations, and assembling his research into an outstanding book.
Was the Liberty's attack intentional or a mistake? How did the United States and Israel contribute to the incident? What was the Liberty doing in the area? Was there a cover-up? Is there validity in any of the conspiracy theories? Cristol analyzes these and many other questions with evidence and unbiased thinking.
