Joseph Morgan's welcome biography of Wesley Fishel makes several important contributions to the literature on the Vietnam War. It expands upon and clarifies the activities of a sometimes controversial and often little-understood player in U.S. relations with Ngo Dinh Diem and the government in Saigon. More broadly, it captures in this one man's story the early enthusiasm and eventual frustration that colored America's national engagement with South Vietnam over two decades. As a final bonus, it gives valuable insights into the troubled role often played by American academics in support of Washington's Cold War policies. -- David L. Anderson, professor emeritus, California State University
