Perfect Spy by Larry Berman

"An extremely captivating story told in part by the spy himself to the author about his secret activities on behalf of North Vietnam. One has to concede that through deception and self control, Pham Xuan An fooled everyone with his cover, including his most trusted friends in the news media and inside the South Vietnamese government."

- Bui Diem, Former Ambassador of South Vietnam to the U.S.
