Cold War Mandarin
Ngo Dinh Diem and the Origins of America's War in Vietnam, 1950–1963
Samenvatting
For almost a decade, the tyrannical Ngo Dinh Diem governed South Vietnam as a one-party police state while the US financed his tyranny. This book traces the tragic history of the so-called Diem experiment from his first appearance in Washington as a penniless expatriate in 1950 to his murder by South Vietnamese soldiers in 1963.
