Contents Description:

Bui Diem was the man most called upon to plead South Vietnam's case to its giant American ally. He had regular personal contact with the highest government officials on both sides: Johnson, Nixon, Thieu, Ky, Quat, McNamara, Kissinger, and Westmoreland. Both liberals and conservatives will find new insight in Diem's account of American military and diplomatic intervention. This is the first detailed insider's view of war, tragedy, and missed opportunity in Vietnam. - from the inside flap
