Paperback. Condizione: Good. On January 23, 1968, North Korean gunboats surrounded the USS Pueblo in the Sea of Japan, setting off an international incident that threatened to destabilize the entire region. The slow, lightly armed spy ship came under a withering cannon barrage that killed one and wounded ten, including the captain. At the end of the day, the Pueblo surrendered all her sensitive spying instruments and classified documents without firing a shot, in what may have been one of the greatest intelligence disasters of the last half of the twentieth century. Trevor Armbrister has re-created the amazing events that culminated in the first surrender of a U.S. Navy ship since the War of 1812, from the ship itself - a nearly-defenceless former coastal freighter that frequently had to be hand-steered - to the unheeded warnings from North Korea about U.S. spy ships - to the lack of air support when the ship came under fire. Eleven months later, the North Koreans released the tortured crew after they had signed confessions. Some were nearly blind from starvation. The U.S. immediately revoked a grudging apology, and started an investigation into what happened. An initial court of inquiry recommended that the captain be tried in a court martial, but the Secretary of the Navy declined, perhaps fearing what author details in over three hundred interviews, starting with the skipper, Commander Lloyd M. (Pete) Bucher, to then-Secretary of Defense Clark Clifford, Armbrister painstakingly reveals every aspect of the appalling behind-the-scenes blunders that made the Pueblo a doomed ship from the very beginning, a must-read for anyone who has enjoyed Tom Clancy's high-stakes naval thrillers.…

Photographs on plates. 408 pages clean and tight. The Pueblo, the famous U.S. spy ship hi-jacked by the North Koreans, was in fact twenty-five years old and virtually defenceless. Her communications system was defective. Her normal complement was thirty, but fifty-three extra specialists had been crowded aboard and her captain had never commanded a ship before in his life. Her easy capture, and the humiliating 'confessions' which followed, revealed the U.S.A. as powerless to retaliate, save by methods which might provoke a third world war. Trevor Armbrister attended the Naval Court of Inquiry and has had access to all the personalities involved from Dean Rusk to the captain and crew of the Pueblo. The result is the deepest, and likely to be unsurpassed, reconstruction of a national scandal, an international crisis, and of a personal tragedy - that of Commander Bucher himself, martyr and scapegoat. Size: 8vo.…
