Description
It was one of the darkest days in United States military history, as the US Navy failed to protect the USS Pueblo in international waters off the coast of North Korea in January 1968. The Pueblo was captured by the North Korean Navy in the Sea of Japan, subjected her crew to 11 months of captivity and torture.
Steven Woelk was one of 83 crewmen aboard Pueblo when it was captured. One sailor was killed during the attack, while the other 82 endured hardships that barely can be understood by rational people.
Nearly 60 years later, Woelk, a co-author of other Pueblo stories, has assembled his thoughts and memories into a captivating book: PIG FAT SOUP: Surviving My USS Pueblo Prisoner of War Journey. Woelk blends history, context and personal experience into a manuscript you won’t want to put down.
