The thrilling untold story of how the CIA tried to infiltrate a radical group of its own soldiers in one of the world's most famous wars.
In 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War, a thousand American deserters and draft-resisters escaped the brutal fighting for the calm shores of Stockholm. These defectors were young, they were radical and they wanted to start a revolution. The Swedes may treat their new guests like rock stars - but the CIA is going to put a stop to that.
It's a job for the deep-cover men of Operation Chaos and their allies - agents who know how to infiltrate radical organizations and crush them from the inside. And within a few months, the GIs will have turned on each other, dissolving into interrogations and recriminations.
