Ngo
Dinh Diem, the first president of the Republic of
Vietnam, possessed the Confucian
Mandate of
Heaven, a moral and political authority that was widely recognized by all Vietnamese. This devout Roman Catholic leader never lost this mandate in the eyes of his people; rather, he was taken down by a military coup sponsored by the U.S. government, which resulted in his brutal murder. The commonly held view runs contrary to the above assertion by military historian
Geoffrey Shaw. According to many
American historians,
President Diem was a corrupt leader whose tyrannical actions lost him the loyalty of his people and the possibility of a military victory over the North Vietnamese. The Kennedy Administration, they argue, had to withdraw its support of
Diem. Based on his research of original sources, including declassified documents of the U.S. government,
Shaw chronicles the Kennedy administration\'s betrayal of this ally, which proved to be not only a moral failure but also a political disaster that led America into a protracted and costly war. Along the way,
Shaw reveals a
President Diem very different from the despot portrayed by the press during its coverage of
Vietnam. From eyewitness accounts of military, intelligence, and diplomatic sources, Shaw draws the portrait of a man with rare integrity, a patriot who strove to free his country from Western colonialism while protecting it from Communism.
