The Pueblo Incident by Mitchell B Lerner
Remember, you are not going out there to start a war, Rear Admiral Johnson reminded the commander of the USS Pueblo just prior to her maiden voyage and yet a war, that might have gone nuclear, nearly happened. Attacked and captured by North Korea, diplomacy finally prevailed.
The Pueblo Incident has found its biographerLerner tells the story well at the micro level, displays complete mastery of his sources, and fits his story compellingly into the context of the times.

LARRY BERMAN, AUTHOR OF NO PEACE, NO HONOR: NIXON, KISSINGER, AND BETRAYAL IN VIETNAM ""Should sound a warning to anyone who seeks simplistic formulas to explain and defeat today's international terrorism."" KENNETH J. HAGAN, AUTHOR OF THIS PEOPLE'S NAVY: THE MAKING OF AMERICAN SEA POWER ""A cautionary tale that resonates today."" EDWARD J. DREA, AUTHOR OF MACARTHUR'S ULTRA: CODEBREAKING AND THE WAR AGAINST JAPAN, 1942-1945
