James Scott - Speaker at September 28th Dinner Meeting, 6:00 PM Hunter Club
James Scott is a journalist and the son of a surviving Liberty officer. In this riveting book, he recounts the story of the horrifying attack and the tremendous impact it had on the lives of the crew. He puts the attack in context, showing how political considerations trumped the demands for justice from the survivors and their supporters in the military and in Congress. Drawing on new interviews and recently declassified documents, he demonstrates that Israel's initial insistence that the attack was a mistake caused by misidentification of the ship is implausible.
He is an investigative reporter for The Post and Courier in Charleston, South Carolina, with an extensive background in covering the military, including assignments in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was a 2007 Nieman Fellow for Journalism at Harvard University. He lives in Charleston, South Carolina.
