Controversies at Sea: USS Liberty and Pearl Harbor

This chapter examines the controversial attack on the USS Liberty by the Israeli Defense Forces during the Six-Day War, highlighting evidence that suggests it was a deliberate strike rather than an accident. The discussion extends to the U.S. government's possible foreknowledge of the Pearl Harbor attack, questioning President Roosevelt's motivations and the strategic decisions made by military officials. Through a mix of history and analysis, the chapter raises ethical dilemmas surrounding wartime decisions and the impact on American lives.
