The Spy Who Loved Us: The Vietnam War and Pham Xuan An's Dangerous Game
- Used Book in Good Condition
Pham Xuan An was a brilliant journalist and an even better spy. A friend to all the legendary reporters who covered the Vietnam War, he was an invaluable source of news and a font of wisdom on all things Vietnamese. At the same time, he was a masterful double agent. An inspired shape-shifter who kept his cover in place until the day he died, Pham Xuan An ranks as one of the preeminent spies of the twentieth century.
When Thomas A. Bass set out to write the story of Anâ€™s remarkable career for The New Yorker, fresh revelations arrived daily during their freewheeling conversations, which began in 1992. But a good spy is always at work, and it was not until Anâ€™s death in 2006 that Bass was able to lift the veil from his carefully guarded story to offer up this fascinating portrait of a hidden life.
A masterful history that reads like a John le CarrÃ© thriller, The Spy Who Loved Us offers a vivid portrait of journalists and spies at war.
