Description: Although it wasn't long ago, teens may not be aware of the attack on a U.S. destroyer whose mission was to patrol the Persian Gulf as directed by the United Nations. Burnett writes a suspenseful book about the attack, providing readers with background on the ship, the mission it was on, and the brutal and surprising attack, aftermath, and investigation.
