"I feel very honored when my book was released in Vietnam. Pham Xuan An told me that he could die many times without the help of H63 friends." One of the bosses and friend of Pham Xuan An is Colonel Nguyen Van Tau or Tu Cang, the chief of the H63 intelligence group.

"I hope that Mr. Tu Cang will share his secrets with me so that I can complete my upcoming book," the American professor said.

It is expected that in November, Larry Berman will return to Vietnam to find materials for the next book.
