CHAU AND THE CIA LADIES: A Memoir Of The TET Offensive

The Hungarian Countess, the Czech General’s daughter, the lady parachutist, the Phat Song of the Hoa Hao––sounds like a James Bond novel, but Jim Ogle is not James Bond, he is a rather Hamletian figure who was there, on the front line of the Cold War. This memoir takes you inside the American intelligence apparatus, and inside the psychological and philosophical labyrinth of one of its major players. Jim and his colleagues predicted the Tet Offensive with widely recognized timeliness and detail.
