Working a reporter for Reuters and Time during the Vietnam War, Pham Xuan An befriended numerous journalists, who came to regard him as a friend and trusted source. But what none of An's friends knew was that he was a secret spy providing intelligence to Hanoi, smuggling invisible ink messages out in eggrolls and living a double life. After the war, An was named a "Hero of the People's Army." But his disaffection with the new government and his close friendships with Americans made him suspicious in the eyes of the Communists. He was soon placed under house arrest and to this day he is banned from leaving the country. In Perfect Spy, Larry Berman, An's official biographer, chronicles the extraordinary life of one of the most fascinating spies of the Vietnam War.
