Initially stationed at the U.S. Army's counterintelligence
headquarters in Saigon, David Noble was sent north to launch the
army's first covert intelligence-gathering operation in Vietnam's
Central Highlands. Living in the region of the
Montagnards-Vietnam's indigenous tribal people, deemed critical to
winning the war-Noble documented strategic hamlets and Green Beret
training camps, where Special Forces teams taught the Montagnards
to use rifles rather than crossbows and spears. In this book, he
relates the formidable challenges he confronted in the course of
his work. Weaving together memoir, excerpts from letters written
home, and photographs, Noble's compelling narrative throws light on
a little-known corner of the Vietnam War in its early years-before
the Tonkin Gulf Resolution and the deployment of combat units-and
traces his transformation from a novice intelligence agent and
believer in the war to a political dissenter and active protester.
