Editorial Reviews
Mr. Richard L. Curtis, Executive Editor of The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs
My theory on book reviews is that 99 percent of those who read the review will never read the book, no matter how strongly I recommend it. So it's okay to reprint as many of its salient facts and conclusions as space permits. However author/historian Andrew Hurley has packed so many facts and such sensible, cogently reasoned conclusions into this book's 307 pages that it's impossible to just skim off the top. It's quotable from beginning to end.
Readers are best advised to get their own copy and settle in for what will be a rewarding but not entirely easy read. Hurley was a corporate lawyer for 40 years before he retired and brought out the first edition of this book in 1990, just before the Gulf war rearranged the furniture on the deck of America's sinking "Israel, right or wrong" Middle East policy. Accordingly, he has laid out each of his 14 chapters almost like legal briefs. He states the facts of each case as he sees them, the opposing arguments where they exist, the counter-arguments, and then what any sensible judge would concludeunless that judge happened to be running for elective office in the United States, and therefore was scared to death of the Israel lobby.
Christian News, February 1999
"During the 1967 Six-Day War between Israel and Egypt, the U.S. electronic and intelligence research vessel Liberty was cruising in international waters in the Mediterranean and was suddenly attacked by Israeli torpedo boats and jet aircraft. The attack, which lasted almost two hours, killed 34 American sailors and wounded 171.
"The story of the intentional attack on the USS Liberty and the shameful efforts of the U.S. government to cover up Israel's duplicity, is told in a book entitle Assault on the Liberty, by the cypher officer of the USS Liberty, James M. Ennes, Jr., published after his retirement from the navey in 1980,"(p. 141).
