The Wandering Soul - Psychological Operations Recording in the Vietnam War

Also known as “Ghost Tape Number 10“ was an audio mix the US military used during the Vietnam War against the North Vietnamese.

The program was heavily inspired in the Philippine’s counter-insurgency campaign in the 1950’s agains
