ATTACK ON THE USS LIBERTY is a superb collection of USS Liberty documents that belongs in the library of anyone interested in this subject. This book provides the only readily-available source of the important dissertation by Navy Commander Walter Jacobsen who studied the legal implications of the attack and determined that it was a war crime on several grounds. It also contains the official report on the attack by William Gerhard for the National Security Agency. Here is where NSA's deputy director noted for the records that the Israeli excuse is "a nice whitewash".

More recently (2005), an experienced professional prosecuting attorney has examined the evidence and has also concluded that the attack on USS Liberty was a war crime, thus validating and confirming Jacobsen's findings. That study resulted in an official "Report of War Crime" filed with the Secretary of the Army by survivors of the attack. That report is supported by affidavits filed by the Navy Legal Counsel to the Court of Inquiry and by the legal advisor to the convening authority. The Department of Defense is now legally required by law to investigate the attack. So far, they are working hard to pretend it does not exist.

Poorly documented (and written) work. Gerhard...don't give up your day job.
