About this audiobook
USS Liberty Survivors: Betrayed by Their Own Country is a gripping non-fiction account that delves into the tragic attack on the USS Liberty during the Six-Day War on June 8, 1967. This book chronicles the harrowing experiences of the ship’s survivors, the controversial geopolitical motivations behind the assault, and the decades-long fight for justice and recognition.
The USS Liberty, an American intelligence ship stationed in international waters near the Sinai Peninsula, was suddenly and brutally attacked by Israeli forces. Despite its clear markings and neutral position, the ship endured an onslaught of bombs, torpedoes, and machine-gun fire, resulting in the loss of 34 crew members and injuries to 171 others. Survivors of the attack recount the chaos, bravery, and determination that kept the ship afloat against all odds.
