| Summary, etc | The Green Beret murder case is one of the greatest unsolved mysteries and political cover-ups of the Vietnam War, a story that burst onto the front page of the New York Times and then suddenly disappeared into a fog of conflicting official explanations. In 1969, members of a top-secret Green Beret intelligence organization were arrested by the Army for the murder of a suspected North Vietnamese double agent. The officers thought they had killed the man with CIA approval, |
| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc | but now the CIA and the military were hanging them out to dry in one of the most bizarre homicide investigations in the history of the U.S. Army.

President Nixon finally stepped in to abort a trial that would have exposed worldwide CIA operations and the secret, illegal Cambodian bombings. But the government's handling of the case prompted Daniel Ellsberg to leak the. |

| Summary, etc | Pentagon Papers, which changed the course of the war and led to Watergate. On one level, A Murder in Wartime is a fascinating tangle of espionage and intrigue, a detective story involving the highest officials of the American government. On another, it is a portrait of an era, a twilight time of fading innocence, when America had only begun to rethink its love affair with spies. Most of all, it is the personal story of eight men caught in a nightmare within a. |
