Undercover Armies - CIA FOIA - Central Intelligence Agency

C05303949
SOURCE NOTE AND SUGGESTED READING
This volume is the fourth in my series about CIA participation in the Second
Indochina War. As with the first three, I have benefited from unrestricted
access to Directorate of Operations files. Another invaluable source has been
the Department of State's Foreign Relations ofthe United States, and the work
of authors such as Douglas Blaufarb and Kenneth Conboy has been most helpful.
Finally, key participants have been extraordinarily generous with their
time. I am grateful to all my interview subjects, and especially to Bill Lair and
Jim Glerum, whose long tenure in key positions in Laos made them the targets
of repeated requests for more information and interpretation. Former chiefs of
station Doug Blaufarb, Ted Shackley, Larry Devlin, and Hugh Tovar were also
most helpful. The other station officers interviewed for this story are acknowl-:
edged in the narrative. But I am keenly aware that their help is largely responsible
for whatever success this account has in conveying the flavor of the
enterprise.
