New History Depicts the Secret Vietnam War

Washington, DC - A new publication from the U.S. Government describes
the secret history of the Vietnam War. The Most Secret War traces the
12-year history of the Army Security Agency (ASA) in Vietnam and its
overall success, along with various challenges and shortcomings. The
Most Secret War is available for sale by the U.S. Government Printing
Office.

This book outlines the history of ASA�s major role in the Vietnam War.
During the war, through cryptologic efforts, ASA met the challenge of
supporting troops in combat by maintaining intelligence communications
(COMINT) on a real-time basis. This publication documents an overview of
these efforts and provides insights into the history of Army
intelligence operations.

The Most Secret War describes the early years and the establishment of
the ASA, the battles of the Vietnam War, as well as �Vietnamization.�
Through numerous photographs of events and milestones, this book
captures the history of Army intelligence in Vietnam. Additionally, it
provides personal accounts of the ASA soldiers and personnel. It is a
remarkable history of personal sacrifice and professionalism. Military
historians, veterans of the war and other interested readers will gain
an inside view of the overall history of communications intelligence of
the Vietnam War from this comprehensive study.
