Vietnam Intelligence

…Ben Het has tanks in the wire! “Hawk Claw is engaging,” the pilot reports firing the first TOW missile ever from a helicopter in combat.

This was the third phase of the North Vietnamese Easter Offensive Campaign of 1972. Standing across the country between them and the fall of Saigon was a poorly led South Vietnamese Army, brave South Vietnamese soldiers, and US Advisors. How much ground ...

The colonel is worth more alive than they are. Command doesn't say that. The math does. Cambodia, 1967. A facility fourteen kilometers across the border that the United States officially does not know about. A Chinese signals intelligence station three months from intercepting every American tactical radio transmission in the Central Highlands. And one man who can explain it all — Colonel Dao Vinh Loc, guarded by a hundred and thirty NVA regulars in a valley the team's intelligence sergeant marks on the overlay in red block letters: KILL BOX. Captain Decker and Recon Team Massai get the ...

October 1968, the Laotian panhandle. Captain John Corder's five-man recon team crosses the fence on a routine Prairie Fire mission and comes home with one man dead and a report he's ordered to sign that says it never happened. He doesn't sign it. He keeps carrying it instead, through three more missions, a helicopter shootdown, and two nights of escape and evasion, while an NVA signals officer, an RVN liaison clerk, and a disgraced CID investigator in Da Nang all independently close in on the same six-character designation stamped in the corner of routine paperwork: STATION 7. What they ...

What they find in a limestone cave changes the mission: the remains of a friend lost two years earlier and an after-action report, stamped and filed, describing an operation seven months before it happened. Someone, somewhere up the chain, is writing the truth before it occurs. As Coe's team carries the dead and the paperwork out of Laos, the real fight moves off ...

October, the Xe Pon watershed, Laos. A country the United States is not at war with, and RT Nevada is not allowed to be in. Five men cross the fence on a targeting package built from one strange sentence in an intelligence report: the node would support the conclusion. Team leader Voss has read it three times and still can't name what's wrong with it. He'll have five days in denied territory to find out. What they find instead of an active enemy node is an empty clearing, a false trail, and a tunnel complex holding a manifest no American was supposed to see; six vehicles, a Soviet technical...

Saigon, 1968. Three days into the Tet Offensive, a CIA analyst finds a pattern no one wants him to see — and the pattern has his name in it. Miles Doyle reads signals for a living: enemy radio traffic, pulled from noise and turned into meaning. At 0217 on the first of February, the same seven-character prefix surfaces in an intercept for the third time in two months. Each earlier appearance was followed, within two days, by the death of American commanders. The targeting is too precise to come from the enemy alone. Someone inside the American command is selling the war — from the room ...
