What makes a great story of espionage even more compelling? When a former chief of CIA Counterintelligence calls it an “impressive work of intelligence, political, and military history.”

We’re looking forward to welcoming author James Bevill to our September luncheon to discuss his book, Spies in Saigon, and the fascinating world of intelligence, history, politics, and military strategy behind the story.

James M. Olson, former chief of CIA Counterintelligence, praised the book for its “sophistication and accuracy” and Bevill’s understanding of the intricacies of the intelligence world.
