On January 23, 1968, North Korean gunboats surrounded the USS Pueblo in the Sea of Japan, setting off an international incident that threatened to destabilize the entire region. The slow, lightly armed spy ship came under a withering cannon barrage that killed one and wounded ten, including the captain. At the end of the day, the Pueblo surrendered all her sensitive spying instruments and classified documents without firing a shot, in what may have been one of the greatest intelligence disasters of the last half of the twentieth century.Trevor Armbrister has re-created the amazing events that culminated in the first surrender of a U.S. Navy ship since the War of 1812, from the ship itself - a nearly-defenceless former coastal freighter that frequently had to be hand-steered - to the unheeded warnings from North Korea about U.S. spy ships - to the lack of air support when the ship came under fire.
