David Taylor: The Spy in Hanoi Hilton

  • Rust Library 380 Old Waterford Road Northwest Leesburg, VA, 20176 United States (map)

Missed David Taylor’s talk on the Hanoi Hilton last year or want to hear it again? You are in luck!

Using film clips from his documentary, Emmy Award-winning producer and writer David C. Taylor shares the story of secret communications between the CIA and American prisoners at Hoa Lo Prison.

Before the story of the secret communications could be made public, seven department heads at the CIA had to authorize its release, with the personal intervention of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff required to make the film a reality. The story is told through classified recordings made by Admiral James Stockton who ran the program and was debriefed by the Naval Intelligence upon his return from Hanoi.
