Frank Snepp is a journalist and former chief analyst of North Vietnamese strategy for the CIA in Saigon during the Vietnam War.
Snepp published his controversial Vietnam memoir, Decent Interval, in 1977, at great risk to his career. Snepp accused the CIA of ruining his career and violating his First Amendment rights. The CIA, in return, claimed Snepp had violated his employment agreement by speaking out. Snepp enlisted the help of the American Civil Liberties Union in his defense.
