During the latter stages of the Vietnam War, small teams of dedicated and courageous Vietnamese special police, led byAmerican military and Central IntelligenceAgency (CIA) personnel, fought a largely unsung war against the political leadership of the Communist insurgency. These special police units were called Provincial Reconnaissance Units (PRUs), and they conducted some of the most dangerous and difficult operations of the VietnamWar. Because these units
were created, trained, equipped, and managed by the CIA, they worked in secret, a status that often led to myths and falsehoods about their activities.
So pervasive are these myths and falsehoods that many historians often take them at face value without subjecting them to the same scrutiny as other historical aspects of the Vietnam War. This lack of understanding is further complicated because of the political divisiveness within the United States surrounding the Vietnam
War,which led some opponents of U.S. involvement in that war to accept the most pernicious and false claims made against the entire pacification effort conducted by the American and South Vietnamese governments.
