1967 Attack On American Ship Is a Mystery Without an Ending by Charley Reese

When the survivors of the Liberty finished their service in the Navy and thus were free to talk, they became targets of a campaign of vilification and have been called drunks, anti-semites, and incompetents. When a small town in Wisconsin decided to name its library in honor of the USS Liberty crewmen, a campaign claiming it was anti-Semitic was launched, and when the town went ahead, the U.S. government ordered no Navy personnel to attend, sent no messages. This little library was the first – and, at the time, the only – memorial to the men who died on the Liberty.
