During the Vietnam War, Time reporter Pham Xuan An befriended
everyone who was anyone in Saigon, including American journalists
such as David Halberstam and Neil Sheehan, the CIA's William Colby,
and the legendary Colonel Edward Lansdale--not to mention the most
influential members of the South Vietnamese government and army.
None of them ever guessed that he was also providing strategic
intelligence to Hanoi, smuggling invisible ink messages into the
jungle inside egg rolls. His early reports were so accurate that
General Giap joked, "We are now in the U.S. war room."
In "Perfect Spy," Larry Berman, who An considered his official
American biographer, chronicles the extraordinary life of one of
the twentieth century's most fascinating spies.
