Act of War
Lyndon Johnson, North Korea, and the Capture of the Spy Ship Pueblo
Author:
Jack Cheevers
Narrator:
Jeffrey Kafer
In 1968, a small, dilapidated American spy ship set out to pinpoint military radar stations along the North Korean coast. The crew of the poorly armed USS Pueblo, led by an ex–submarine officer named Pete Bucher, was made up of young, untested sailors. One frigid January morning, the Pueblo was challenged by a North Korean gunboat then quickly surrounded by more boats, shelled and machine-gunned, and forced to surrender. Bucher and his crew were then taken prisoner by one of the world’s most aggressive and erratic totalitarian regimes. Act of War tells the riveting saga of Bucher and his men as they struggled to survive torture and horrendous living conditions.
