Joan Mellen: Blood in the Water - How the US and Israel conspired to ambush the USS Liberty.

Author and former Temple University professor, Joan Mellen, has written over twenty-two books. Her newest work, "Blood in the Water" argues that US President Lyndon Baines Johnson ordered a hit on his own naval ship, even the USS Liberty - a US "spy ship" (an auxiliary intelligence research ship). In international waters, during the 6-Day War, the boat was attacked by Israeli forces. It is considered the boat was mistaken for an Egyptian vessel.
