Description: Vietnam Declassified : The CIA and Counterinsurgency, Hardcover by Ahern, Thomas L., Jr.; Gregg, Donald P. (FRW), ISBN 0813125618, ISBN-13 9780813125619, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US A former operations officer with the CIA, the US Central Intelligence Agency, and still a consultant to it, Ahern describes the organization's participation in rural pacification in South Vietnam during the 1960s and 1970s against an evolving understanding of the insurgency and of the political environment in which it took place. The fundamental problem, he says, is that neither the Agency nor the US government as a whole ever quite understood that the populace of the country overwhelmingly supported the communists, and that the only possible victory would entail a repressive government propped up from abroad. The lesson has implications for Afghanistan and Iraq, he warns. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
