zonkie: You ought to read The Quiet American, Graham Greene. Published in 1955 and based on Greene's experiences in Vietnam during the French war. The key figure of the novel has been variously likened to all sorts of characters like Edward Lansdale. Greene denied that there was a specific role model, but insisted that the events in the novel are based on absolute fact, including a massive public bombing in the midst of crowded Saigon, "arranged" by the shadowy American agent. Greene, by the way, was an excellent journalist as well as being a brilliant novelist. M2
