About this title
". . . .a fascinating history of the activities of the Naval Investigative Service (NIS) in Vietnam from 1962 to the fall of Saigon in April 1975. Special Agent, Vietnam should appeal to a broad readership, military historians, students of counterintelligence and criminal investigation, and Vietnam veterans. . . ." -- Studies in Intelligence
"A captivating story of an overlooked part of any war--the chaotic and often dangerous world of the criminal investigator." -- Military Heritage
"Doug Hubbard's exposition defines a period of counterintelligence development in the Vietnam conflict and records its events for the first time. Compiled personal recollections of wartime special agents make this historical narrative a defining work in the legacy left by the group of Naval Intelligence professionals who devised rules for counterintelligence and force protection in the challenging and dangerous arena of Vietnam in the 1960's. Theirs was a monumental contribution to the U.S. government's efforts to achieve stability in the Republic of Vietnam, particularly in the early days of the mission when much was accomplished by a select few." -- Maynard C. Anderson, former Assistant Deputy Under Secretary of Defense for Security Policy
"Although the Vietnam War gives up its secrets grudgingly, former special agent Douglass Hubbard unveils an intriguing new account of U.S. Naval Intelligence operations in the Republic of Vietnam. Drawing on his three years' service in Vietnam and his subsequent research and interviews, Hubbard weaves a masterful story that is equally inspiring and frustrating--just as the war itself proved to be." -- Col. Joseph H. Alexander, USMC (Ret.), author of The Battle History of the U.S. Marines
"Doug Hubbard, Jr., explores the seamy underside of the Vietnam War from his catbird seat as a special agent of the Naval Investigative Service. At the most there were never more than twenty-one of these Naval Intelligence officers serving in-country, and they had to deal with an overload of such unsavory matters as counterespionage, sabotage, black marketing, currency manipulation, simple theft, drug trafficking, subversion, rape, and murder. Sometimes these investigations came to a brilliant resolution that Sherlock Holmes would have applauded. More often they foundered because of command apathy or indifference." -- Brig. Gen. Edwin H. Simmons, USMC, Chief of Staff of the First Marine Division in 1970 and former head of the Marine Corps History Branch
