Dead in the Water
A BBC Investigative Report Exposes the murderous Israeli Attack on an American ship
During the Six-Day War, Israel, a nation that America has unconditionally supported, attacked and nearly sank the USS Liberty. Thirty-four American servicemen were killed and 174 grievously wounded in the two-hour assault by Israeli warplanes and torpedo boats.
Israel claimed that the whole affair had been a tragic accident based on mistaken identification of the ship. The American government and media accepted the explanation.
For more than 30 years many people have disbelieved the official explanation but have been silenced. Now, Dead in the Water uses startling new evidence to reveal the truth behind the seemingly inexplicable attack. The film combines dramatic reconstruction of the events, with new access to former officers in the US and Israeli armed forces and intelligence services who have decided to give their own version of events.
Interviews include President Lyndon Johnson’s Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, former head of the Israeli navy Admiral Shlomo Errell and members of the USS Liberty crew.
