520 1 $a"During the Vietnam War, the U.S. Army deployed electronic sensors along the 8,100-mile-long Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos, Cambodia, North Vietnam, and South Vietnam in order to detect and track troop and vehicle movements. Monitoring this sophisticated logistics network-consisting of roads, trails, vehicle parks, petroleum pipelines, and storage areas - was no mean task. Since the work was classified until only recently, the story of U.S. electronic monitoring in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War has never been completely told, until now." "In Wiring Vietnam: The Electronic Wall, Anthony Tambini describes every aspect of this surveillance, from the sensors used to detect seismic signals from nearby troop and vehicle movements to audio sensors deployed to pick up conversations of both troops and traffic noise of vehicles to engine ignition detectors. Beginning with the conception, development, and implementation of these devices, Tambini then explains how the various signals collected by the sensors were transmitted to orbiting aircraft that processed and retransmitted the signals to a U.S. base in Thailand. There, the data underwent further analysis to identify targets that could be attacked from the air."--BOOK JACKET.
