Program to Kill (The Phoenix Program)

Book •
Doug Valentine's work on the Phoenix Program examines the U.S.

counterinsurgency campaign in Vietnam aimed at neutralizing Viet Cong infrastructure through infiltration, capture, and assassination.

Valentine documents how U.S.

intelligence and military forces implemented controversial tactics, often resulting in human-rights abuses and extrajudicial killings.

The book analyzes the program's structure, methods, and the political context that enabled such operations.

It draws connections between wartime psychological operations and later domestic strategies used by intelligence agencies.

Valentine's reporting has been influential in shaping critical perspectives on U.S.

counterinsurgency policies.
