"During the Vietnam war, the United States sought to undermine Hanoi's subversion of the Saigon regime by sending Vietnamese operatives behind enemy lines. A secret to most Americans, this covert operation was far from secret in Hanoi: all of the commandos were killed or captured, and many were turned by the Communists to report false information.".
"Spies and Commandos traces the rise and demise of this secret operation - started by the CIA in 1960 and expanded by the Pentagon beginning in 1964 - in the first book to examine the program from both sides of the war.
Kenneth Conboy and Dale Andrade interviewed CIA and military personnel and traveled in Vietnam to locate former commandos who had been captured by Hanoi, enabling them to tell the complete story of these covert activities from high-level decision making to the actual experiences of the agents."--BOOK JACKET.
