Synopsis

This memoir relates the story of a highly dedicated and professional group of men who served voluntarily as officers and special agents of the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence during the Vietnam War. Through Hubbard's eyes (he served three consecutive tours as one of two dozen civilian agents) the reader enters the clandestine and often dangerous world of counterespionage and crime, all amid the sights, sounds and smells of Vietnam. Civilian special agents despite their uncertain combat status, wore military uniforms and carried weapons. They lived and worked in the field with naval personnel and Marines, sharing the same dangers and discomforts, deep inside the underlying chaos which was the background to the war. This work features spies, murder, and mayhem - behind the scenes of the intelligence war in Vietnam. It appeals to military and naval history buffs, and fans of espionage.

About this title

Review:

"Although the Vietnam War gives up its secrets grudgingly, former special agent Douglass Hubbard unveils an intriguing new account of U.S. Naval Intelligence operations in the Republic of Vietnam. Drawing on his three years' service in Vietnam and his subsequent research and interviews, Hubbard weaves a masterful story that is equally inspiring and frustrating--just as the war itself proved to be." --Col. Joseph H. Alexander, USMC (Ret.), author of THE BATTLE HISTORY OF THE U.S. MARINES
