Documentary examining the circumstances that led to Israel's attack in 1967 on the USS Liberty, a spy ship belonging to its closest ally. Israel claimed the two-hour assault - which killed 34 American servicemen - was a tragic case of mistaken identity, an explanation that the United States accepted. This film provides evidence to the contrary and explains how the incident almost resulted in a US nuclear attack on Egypt.
