On June 8, 1967, twenty-year-old Phil Tourney found himself in the middle of a nightmare—trapped aboard the USS Liberty as it was attacked and left burning in the Mediterranean Sea. Against every odd, he survived. But the story didn’t end there. What began as a fight to stay alive became a lifelong lesson: the storms that threaten to sink us are also the waters that teach us how to STAY AFLOAT.
