    A Fine Recent Book on a Sorry Chapter of Our National Charcter
  

*by 1***O on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2018*

This is a well written, current, easy to follow, conversational book on a very sad subject.  My only criticism, and this is a big one for me as a former serviceman who likes to see the "big picture", is that there are no maps, a shortcoming "Act of War" shares with one of its heavily credited sources, the much earlier excellent book on the same subject by Armbrister.A "God's eye" map showing the general area of the Sea of Japan and Korean peninsula and another close-in map laying out the actual course of the USS Pueblo along the Korean coast, along with the superimposed bogus track claimed by the North Koreans, would have been very helpful - and logical for a military history work of this caliber.  Those two pages couldn't have very cost much to add for the value they would have provided.I'm not going to take away a star for this omission as a serious reader probably has a few military atlases laying near their armchair, but it would have been nice to just have to only flip a couple of pages to get some physical context.

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2017*

Excellent read.  As a CT who spent 10 years with the Naval Security Group, I can say that the book is technically accurate.  Had the United States acted immediately and decisively to either rescue the Pueblo or avenge its capture, we would not be dealing today with a post-adolescent megalomaniac who has his finger on a nuclear trigger.The result is what happens when you let politicians run wars.  The US Navy isn't faultless either.  There was a severe lack of planning, complacency, and apathy that led to the capture of this ship.  It wasn't much different for the airborne direct support platforms.

    Unfortunate circumstances
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2018*

The Pueblo was a ship doomed to fail in any operation short of shuttling supplies to and from navy bases within the waters next to the US.  Certainly not designed or crewed for such a critical task so close to NK and so far out of touch with powerful rescue assets.  Then when captured- the Captain and crew were subjected to cruel and inhumane punishment.  Second guessed by America upon their released and prosecuted and persecuted by the Navy and politicians who were not subjected to the same situation and decisions.  A good read about a tragic no win situation.  The Captain and crew were caught between trying to escape and die, trying to defend the ship and die or surrendering the ship and possibly die.  Doing the unthinkable of surrendering was in the eyes of the Navy an absolute embarrassment.  Yet the real humiliation began upon their return America.
