"The USS Liberty: Dissenting History VS Official History" is a
thoroughly researched, fully documented account of the efforts of the
USS Liberty crew to tell their story to the world in the face of a
lethargic press, a cowardly Congress, a series of timid administrations,
and a pro-Israel public relations apparatus that has managed for 28
years to prevent any prolonged public discussion of this issue.

"The USS Liberty" was written as a doctoral level thesis in partial
fulfillment of the qualifications for a degree of Doctor of Philosophy
in History at New York University by John Borne.  Dr. Borne was granted
his Ph.D. in 1993 based upon this work.  He has taught history in New
York State as an adjunct professor at various colleges and universities.

Dr. Borne's study examines the examines the basic assertion by survivors
that the attack was deliberate and balances this against the official
statements by the US and Israeli governments.  He reviews the crew's
28-year effort to tell its story to the American public, the frustrating
failures, and in the end the remarkable degree of success the survivors
have had with almost no resources in overcoming the lethargy at home and
the determined resistance from abroad.

"The USS Liberty" should be studied by journalism students and
government decision-makers everywhere.  It could well serve as the
subject for journalism school seminars.  It should be on the shelf of
every radio, television, government and newspaper executive.  It is a
powerful study of a small group of men working together to overcome the
resistance to their story by entrenched and powerful forces.  In the
end, the men succeed only partially.  But the degree of success is
astounding and admiral.

This is must reading for anyone from either side of the issue who hopes
to understand what the USS Liberty is all about.
