Negative Positive
Title: Nothing but lies, hatred and hearsay = F-
Review: Where are the facts? James Ennes bases the entire book on his alleged encounter at a coffee machine with another Liberty officer in 1974. This man claimed to have been at a Pentagon meeting with Admiral David L. McDonald. In this meeting he claims that William Fulbright stated that Pres. Lyndon Johnson told him that he believed the attack was deliberate.When interviewed by A. JAy Cristol, Senator Fulbright confirmed that he and Johnson weren't on good terms at the time and weren't even talking. McDonald, chief of Naval Operations in 1967 was also interviewed and he "had no recollection of any such conversation with Fulbright. In short Ennes makes claims that are NOT verifiable and this proves the sloppy journalism that this book, Assault on the Liberty, is guilty of.There are many books on this subject that are backed up by facts and evidence, read one of those instead of the book above that is based simply on hearsay and revenge fantasies.
