When John Burdick received his orders to ship to Vietnam in 1967,
he was certain his life was over. His goal was to return to the
United States alive and on his feet no matter what it took. He had
been recruited by the military to become an intelligence agent, and
for a college graduate student from California, it sounded
intriguing. But serving in Vietnam would require all of his skills
to stay alive. Dressed as a civilian and with little formal
training, Burdick learned quickly and executed missions
effectively. He fulfilled several purposes in Vietnam-from
infiltrating the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army command
infrastructure to searching for American prisoners of war. The war
hit hard. The deaths of all the young men haunted him. He could
trust no one, including the military establishment who tried to
squash each success the intelligence personnel achieved. In A
Sphinx, author John Burdick recounts a powerful and emotional
narrative following his duty in the Vietnam War in the 1960s. It
uncovers behind-the-scenes footage of a military intelligence agent
and his quest to help more American soldiers come home alive.
