A fresh and provocative look at a neglected but crucial period during the Vietnam War. Catton's penetrating study explodes the contrasting portrayals of Ngo Dinh Diem as villain or savior to present a more nuanced view of one of the war's most tragic figures. William J. Duiker, Author Of Ho Chi Minh: A Life; """"A richly detailed and thoughtful study that will force scholars of the Vietnam War to rethink traditional interpretations of the Diem government, the military-political struggle in South Vietnam, and the interaction between the Kennedy administration and Saigon."""" Gary Hess, Author Of Vietnam And The United States: Origins And Legacy Of War; """"Easily one of the best studies we have of the Saigon government. A major work of lasting value."""" Robert K. Brigham, Author Of Guerrilla Diplomacy: The NLF's Foreign Relations And The Vietnam War
