Honest Mistakes: The Life and Death of Trinh Minh The (1922-1955),
South Vietnam’s Alternative Leader. Villain of Graham Greene’s The Quiet American and hero of Edward G. Lansdale’s In The Midst Of Wars, dissident General Trinh Minh The (1922-1955) skyrocketed to prominence as a leader of a “private army.” Yet his violent death remains a historical mystery and Trinh Minh The arguably dropped into oblivion. This book endeavors to examine many questions such as of whether Trinh Minh The was an uniformed hoodlum or a national leader in the making, and did he really die in a street skirmish or he fell victim to a conspiracy. The importance of the book springs out of the author’s enthusiasm for the subject and his belief that the crisis of April 1955 came as a pivotal point in the history of Vietnam. In order to elucidate the origins and nature of Trinh Minh The’s army, their role in the fighting in Saigon in the spring of 1955, and implications of Trinh Minh The’s tragic death, a thorough study was undertaken. A complex story full of complicated characters is delivered, sometimes bordering a non-fiction version of Greene’s The Quiet American. |
