520    In 1968, a small, dilapidated American spy ship set out on
       a dangerous mission to pinpoint military radar stations 
       along the coast of North Korea. Packed with advanced 
       surveillance equipment and classified intelligence 
       documents, the USS Pueblo was poorly armed and lacked 
       backup by air or sea. Its crew, led by a charismatic, hard
       -drinking ex-submarine officer named Pete Bucher, was made
       up mostly of untested sailors in their teens and twenties.
       On a frigid January morning while eavesdropping near the 
       port of Wonsan, the Pueblo was challenged by a North 
       Korean gunboat. When Bucher tried to escape, his ship was 
       quickly surrounded by more patrol boats, shelled and 
       machine-gunned, and forced to surrender. One American was 
       killed and ten wounded, and Bucher and his young crew were
       taken prisoner by one of the world's most aggressive and 
       erratic totalitarian regimes. Less than forty-eight hours 
       before the Pueblo's capture, North Korean commandos had 
       nearly succeeded in assassinating South Korea's president 
       in downtown Seoul. Together the two explosive incidents 
       pushed Cold War tensions toward a flashpoint as both North
       and South Korea girded for war-with fifty thousand 
       American soldiers caught between them. Act of War tells 
       the riveting saga of Bucher and his men as they struggled 
       to survive merciless torture and horrendous living 
       conditions in North Korean prisons. Based on extensive 
       interviews and numerous government documents released 
       through the Freedom of Information Act, this book also 
       reveals new details of President Lyndon B. Johnson's high-
       risk gambit to prevent war from erupting on the Korean 
       peninsula while his negotiators desperately tried to save 
       the sailors from possible execution. A dramatic tale of 
       human endurance set against the backdrop of an 
       international diplomatic poker game, Act of War offers 
       lessons on the perils of covert intelligence operations as
       America finds itself confronting a host of twenty-first-
       century enemies.
