Ky, who was also a military pilot and held the rank of marshal, gives insight into the South Vietnamese military as well, criticizing inaccurate reporting on the war and drawing attention to stories that journalists avoided. Assessing the U.S. ambassadors Bunker and Martin and the role played by foreign aid, Nguyen paint an eye- opening picture of how American politics and elections had a profound effect upon U.S. allies."--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 600 10 Nguỹên, Cao Kỳ. 600 17 Nguỹên, Cao Kỳ.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00225376 611 27 Vietnam War (1961-1975)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01431664 648 7 1945-1975|2fast 650 0 Vietnam War, 1961-1975|zUnited States. 650 0 Vice-presidents|zVietnam (Republic)|vBiography. 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY|xHistorical.|2bisacsh 650 7 HISTORY|xMilitary|xVietnam War.|2bisacsh 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 Vice-Presidents.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01166246 651 0 Vietnam|xPolitics and government|y1945-1975. 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 651 7 Vietnam.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204778 651 7 Vietnam (Republic)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01274298 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 700 1 Nguỹên, Cao Kỳ.|tTwenty years and twenty days. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aNguŷẽn, Cao Kỳ.|tHow we lost the Vietnam War.|b1st Cooper Square Press ed.|dNew York : Cooper Square Press ; [Lanham, MD] : Distributed by National Book Network, 2002|z0815412223|w(DLC) 2002031423 |w(OCoLC)50447728 914 ocn811564100 994 92|bGTK
