AGENTS UNKNOWN introduces students to unexplored aspects of the Vietnam War: intelligence collection/analysis, the problems of intelligence implementation, and the relationship of the US military intelligence infrastructure to the Vietnamese military, government, and civilians. The issues raised also apply to recent conflicts.
