Samuel Alexander Adams (June 14, 1934 – October 10, 1988), known as Sam Adams, was an analyst for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He is best known for his role in discovering that during the mid-1960s American military intelligence had underestimated the number of Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army soldiers. Although his opinion was challenged, he pushed the case for a higher troop count. The issue under debate was called the Order of Battle (O/B). His efforts in 1967 met strong and persistent opposition from the Army (here MACV) which, in the short-term, prevailed against him.

Oktober 1988) war ein Analyst des US-amerikanischen Nachrichtendienstes Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), der während des Vietnamkrieges eine Verschwörung im Hauptquartier der U.S.-Truppen vermutete, in der Funktionsträger bewusst die Schätzungen zur Truppenstärke des Vietcong und der Vietnamesischen Volksarmee zu niedrig ansetzten und die Öffentlichkeit so täuschten. Adams gilt als Whistleblower, er ist Namensgeber des Sam Adams Award, der bis heute an Nachrichtendienstmitarbeiter verliehen wird. (de) Samuel A.
