Four days before the forty-second anniversary of that other day in infamy, the release of “The Untold Story of Israel’s Deadly 1967 Assault on a U.S. Spy Ship” will reopen many wounds caused by the Israeli attack on the unarmed spy ship that navigated in international waters during the Six-Day War.
Acclaimed journalist and son of a survivor, author James Scott dedicated his extensively footnoted, compelling and dramatic account to his father, who lived to tell about it and the thirty-four sailors who did not.
On June 6, 1967, out of a crew of 294, thirty four were killed, 171 wounded and all scarred for life because the USA Government failed to support the troops who continue to request an open Congressional hearing to address the Israeli claim of mistaken identity.
Scott blows apart the only American investigation that was ever conducted; the U.S. Naval Court of Inquiry’s white wash rush job that confirmed the Israeli claim which is clearly contradicted by the facts.
