Peabody-Award winning investigative journalist and broadcaster for ABC, CBS and NBC; best-selling author; podcaster, documentary-maker, screenwriter; senior CIA intelligence analyst and interrogator with nearly six years of service in Vietnam, recipient of the CIA’s coveted Medal of Merit; CIA whistle blower, author of two memoirs; the precedent-making litigant in a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling on free speech and national security, U.S. v Snepp (1980); university professor, expert commentator on national security, the First Amendment and the Vietnam war.

Decent Interval, his fist best-selling memoir, is widely considered the most definitive insider account of the fall of Vietnam. It tells of Snepp’s multiple tours of duty in country, spanning nearly nearly six years, during which he rose to become lead assessor of enemy intentions at the CIA’s Saigon Station, the Ambassador’s chief intelligence briefer, interrogator the highest ranking enemy cadre ever captured and the only CIA analyst assigned to debrief the most important spy working for the Agency behind enemy lines. Ten days before the end of the war, Snepp was handpicked to be President Nguyen Van Thieu’s personal driver and a key player in a highly sensitive CIA operation to smuggle Thieu out of the country. Snepp was one of the last seventeen CIA officers to be lifted by helicopter off the roof of the U.S. embassy in the last hours of the war, April 29, 1975.

His second memoir, Irreparable Harm, recounts his historic battle for free speech before the U.S. Supreme Court.
