Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the annals of Vietnam War history, no figure has been more controversial than Ngo Dinh Diem. During the 1950s, U.S. leaders hailed Diem as “the miracle man of Southeast Asia” and funneled huge amounts of aid to his South Vietnamese government. But in 1963 Diem was ousted and assassinated in a coup endorsed by President John F. Kennedy. Diem’s alliance with Washington has long been seen as a Cold War relationship gone bad, undone either by American arrogance or by Diem’s stubbornness. In Misalliance, Edward Miller provides a convincing new explanation for Diem’s downfall and the larger tragedy of South Vietnam. For Diem and U.S. leaders, Miller argues, the alliance was more than just a joint effort to contain communism. It was also a means for each side to pursue its plans for nation building in South Vietnam. Miller’s definitive portrait of Diem—based on extensive research in Vietnamese, French, and American archives—demonstrates that the South Vietnamese leader was neither Washington’s pawn nor a tradition-bound mandarin. Rather, he was a shrewd and ruthless operator with his own vision for Vietnam’s modernization. In 1963, allied clashes over development and reform, combined with rising internal resistance to Diem’s nation building programs, fractured the alliance and changed the course of the Vietnam War. In depicting the rise and fall of the U.S.–Diem partnership, Misalliance shows how America’s fate in Vietnam was written not only on the battlefield but also in Washington’s dealings with its Vietnamese allies.
Download or read book Strategic Hamlets in South Vietnam written by Milton E. Osborne and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The strategic hamlet program in South Vietnam deserves careful consideration in light of the fact that war had been the central fact of many Vietnamese lives for many years. This paper delineates both the development of the program and studies the effect that the seemingly similar Communist insurrection in Malaysia (known as the Malayan Emergency) had upon American dealings with the insurgency in South Vietnam. Osborne, in one fascinating and revealing chapter, presents the commentary of both the Allied and North Vietnamese officials upon the successes and failures, real or perceived, of this program. An illuminating, focused, and important work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study seeks to achieve three major goals. First, it attempts to describe the infrastructure of the Communist-dominated insurgency in South Vietnam which evolved during the period 1954-1965. Second, in the light of the organizational composition of that movement, it analyzes the strategy pursued by the insurgents on the political, sociopsychological, economic, and paramilitary levels in their effort to displace the formal government of the country with the agencies of a new administrative structure upon which a future totalitarian regime might be constructed. Last, the study attempts to place the more conventionally military content of the conflict in context by examining it in terms of the spectrum of organizations and highly varied activities which collectively constitute the reality of the threat that has been generated in the course of the last decade.

Download or read book The Irony of Vietnam written by Leslie H. Gelb and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2001-06-29 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few analysts of U.S. involvement in Vietnam would agree with the provocative conclusion of this book. The thesis of most postmortems is that the United States lost the war because of the failure of its foreign policy decisionmaking system. According to Gelb and Betts, however, the foreign policy failed, but the decisionmaking system worked. They attribute this paradox to the efficiency of the system in sustaining an increasingly heavy commitment based on the shared conviction of six administrations that the United States must prevent the loss of Vietnam to communism. However questionable the conviction, and thus the commitment, may have been, the authors stress that the latter "was made and kept for twenty-five years. That is what the system—the shared values, the political and bureaucratic pressures—was designed to do, and it did it." The comprehensive analysis that supports this contention reflects the widest use thus fare of available sources, including recently declassified portions of negotiations documents and files in presidential libraries. The frequently quoted statement of the principals themselves contradict the commonly held view that U.S. leaders were unaware of the consequences of their decisions and deluded by false expectations of easy victory. With few exceptions, the record reveals that these leaders were both realistic and pessimistic about the chances for success in Vietnam. Whey they persisted nonetheless is explained in this thorough account of their decisionmaking from 1946 to 1968, and how their mistakes might be avoided by policymakers in the future is considered in the final chapter.

This book was released on 1967 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of the dynamics of the Communist movement in South Vietnam presupposes a thorough grasp of organizational issues, since one is dealing here with a form of subversion that is implemented through the agencies of a highly disciplined bureaucracy, staffed in its critical offices with party members. Regarding the structure of the movement, distinctions are made among three major echelons: the party apparatus, based upon a cellularly ordered hierarchy of committees; the civil organization, embracing mass associations and the federated fronts erected over them; and the armed elements, domestically activated or infiltrated across international borders. In the light of an understanding of both the structure and functions performed by these several hierarchies, the larger issues of grand strategy and tactics, political and military, are examined. The work is completed with an investigation of the Saigon-Cholon-Gia Dinh area, in which the several factors, examined in succession in the earlier portions of the work, are integrated into a single statement. The study argues that the goal of the subversive movement is not tactical military success on the battlefield, but the progressive extension of de facto controls over the civil population, and that success in this political endeavor is dependent upon the party's ability to sustain its controls over the extra-party bodies activated. The failure to place the destruction of this organization at the center of counterinsurgent planning, consequently, would substantially vitiate such positive accomplishments of a collateral nature as might be attained.

Ringler and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph analyzes the effectiveness of operational campaign design against an asymmetrical threat during the 1968 Tet Offensive. The focus is on conceptual elements of campaign design that are derived from theory, which incorporate the particulars of military history to the general truth of warfare. Effective campaign execution is dependent, in part, on effective campaign design that set of theoretical and doctrinal precepts that define the concerns of the operational planner. The monograph identifies lessons learned from this period that are applicable to current U.S. Joint and Army doctrine as well as lessons for planners and executors of U.S. military action under the American system of civilian control of the military. First, the monograph demonstrated the complex nature of asymmetric warfare. Finding and creating vulnerabilities and attacking those vulnerabilities with inherent strengths is the key to asymmetric warfare. Secondly, the monograph discussed the elements of campaign design that are derived from theory, which incorporate the particulars of military history to the general truth of warfare. Some of the more common conceptual actions are to understand the type and scope of conflict, define the enemy and friendly center of gravity, identify possible culminating points, select lines of operation, determine decisive points, and understanding the dangers of paralysis commonly known as cyber shock. The third section identifies the strategy and identifies particular military objectives identified by the North Vietnamese.
