The Pueblo Surrender: A Covert Action by the National Security Agency

Robert A. Liston

4.9/5 (26721 ratings)

Description:Liston argues that the 1968 seizure of the USS Pueblo was part of a National Security Agency-run operation, in which the ship & its unsuspecting crew were offered as bait. The centerpiece of the plot, according to his scenario, was a rigged code-machine placed aboard the ship for the North Koreans to "capture" & use, leading to the breaking of Communist-bloc military codes. Liston, novelist & jounalist, doesn't claim to have proven his case, but the documentation & material obtained in interviews render his theory shockingly plausible. The book carefully reconstructs the ship's seizure, & the Chinese & Soviet military involvement in its aftermath. His primary focus, however, is directed toward the NSA, which he compares to the Soviet KGB in its ability "to manipulate the actions of our civilian & military leaders." (Pueblo's commanding officer, Command Lloyd Bucher, is presented as an honorable dupe.) From the agency's viewpoint, the operation was a brilliant success, maintains the author, helping prevent US defeat in the Tet Offensive, causing the Soviets to abandon a military adventure in Red China & opening the way for a Beijing-Washington rapprochement.--Publishers WeeklyWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
